A (half!) marathon effort for Windle!

Ghebre was supported by Windle member Windle Trust International to complete his studies, and knows first-hand how important education is - particularly for those who have experienced conflict or disruption to their learning. 

On Saturday 4 December, Ghebre donned his trainers and successfully completed the Victoria Park Christmas Half Marathon, smashing his fundraising target to raise a massive £1,672 for Windle. 

Ghebre says: "I am deeply committed to the mission of Windle International, to provide quality education and training for conflict-affected persons in eastern Africa. I am pleased to play small part in supporting Windle, and I am very grateful for all my family and friends who supported me on the way."
