Thank you again
Birmingham Ethiopian Sport and Culture Festival
We would like to extend out thanks to all attendees for sacrificing their fun-time and being patient with us to listen/hear what we were saying about BCE and its ultimate goal. We enjoyed the festival as we spread the awareness, we met the organizers in person and we had a chance to talk to interested individual who wanted to learn more about BCE too.
We value your time at Birmingham. Thank you all!
Sacrificial Donation
BCE's Board of trustee would like to say thank you to Emuye Mequanent and Yosef Biyadglegn from Israel for their surprising donation.Emuye and Yosef got married on Friday 2nd of May 2014. Few days before their planned wedding day, they heard my personal testimony as a survivor and about cancer sufferers situation in Ethiopia. To my surprise, at the spot they decided to cut part of their wedding cost by $1428.00 USD and donated for BCE's objectives. We appreciate their prompt action to make a difference in cancer sufferers life in Ethiopia.Congratulations Emuye and Yosef!! Have a blessed life together. Happy Easter!
Thank you all for supporting BCE in all the events we run and for your monthly commitments for the last two years. Your participation and support has brought BCE closer to meeting its target by £190,000.00 at this time. Although BCE's journey is long and though, we believe that your support will not cease until BCE accomplishes its objective of helping cancer sufferer's in Ethiopia.
Thank you again and enjoy your Easter holiday

On 22nd of February, 2014 evening the Kitfo Night was fantastic. Very good turnout, traditional Kitfo presentation (with tires and ankefo - spoon), generous portion and testy kitfo of the time. Thank you all for being there in support of BCE's ultimate goal and willing to participate in all aspects of needs. Thank you 'Kitfo Night' event organisers' for introducing us to this stylish evening. Amazing!!!
BCE Trustees

BCE wishes you a Happy Ethiopian New Year.
Taking this opportunity, BCE's Trustees would like to thank you all for your participation in the various events (dinner in London and Reading, 10k walk in London and Nottingham, 10k London Run, London 2 Brighton walk, street fund collection and concert), for your monthly commitments and one-off donation payments from the UK, USA and Europe that enabled us to reach 15% of our target of a million GBP.
We appreciate all volunteers' involvement in all aspects of the above events to raise fund for BCE. In addition to that, it was overwhelming seeing kids involvement in the walk event and baking fairy cakes to sell and raise funds.
As we start the Ethiopian New Year we have good news to tell you: To facilitate generous individuals/organisations and to speed up the collection of fund for cancer treatment, BCE has been registered legally to function in the USA as a non-profit charity!
Dear all BCE Supporters,
You didn't only walk the 10k charity walk but you also knocked on the doors of friends and sponsors asking for their support for this good cause you believe in and spread awareness about lack of cancer treatment in Ethiopia.
The trustees of BCE would like to say thank you for your participation on the walk, for facing the challenges to raise funds online and offline and for your personal gift in support of the walk and its purpose. We congratulate you for your effort to raise more than £22,227.99 (this includes £991.00GBP raised by Jill Demilew who took a tough challenge and walked from London to Brighton on 25&26 May (30hrs) to raise funds for BCE).
THANK YOU AGAIN AND WELL DONE
BCE is a charity committed to raising funds to buy life saving medical equipment for the Black Lion Hospital Cancer Centre in Ethiopia...
