Stories of impact
Earlier this week, the UN Foundation kicked-off a great blog series by Executive Director of Global Partnerships Elizabeth McKee Gore. She’ll be writing about her recent trip to Ethiopia, sharing stories from the ground about health, education, clean water—even a tale of seven sweet girls she met in a tiny one-room education center.
And in case you missed it earlier on the ONE blog, don’t forget to check out Jamie Drummond’s recent post (ONE’s co-founder and executive director) about his return visit to Ethiopia, too. He headed back to the country to witness first-hand the impact of funds raised by Band Aid and the work of the World Food Programme (pitching in on everything from greater potato production to increased market access).
