EVA’s 1st Conference
A Well-Fed World is proud to have worked with the International Fund for Africa in sponsoring the first ever Ethiopian Vegan Association Conference (photos).
Attendees included members of parliament, the Ethiopian EPA, environmentalists, representatives of various NGOs, and the Ethiopian news media.
The conference included lively debates on consequences of intensive animal agriculture on the environment. The main government newspaper, The Reporter, covered this unprecedented event.
EVA Launches Feeding Program in Addis Ababa
After the conference, attendees fed approximately 100 homeless people in Addis Ababa (photos). It was the launch of the EVA vegan feeding program. It was both exhilarating and sad to see so many people hungry including children who lined up for clean, delicious, vegan food.
EVA Future Feedings
EVA’s feeding program will begin as a monthly event, then expand to weekly homeless feedings in Addis Ababa.
A Well-Fed World and the International Fund for Africa will assist with financial and material support, including direct participation when possible. EVA’s hope is to spread compassion by doing and not by talking.
