KIDS HELPING KIDS….AMERICA TO ETHIOPIA
EFF inspires young children in America to see the value of humanitarianism. Through personal involvement in the lives of their Ethiopian counterparts, American children learn about culture, caring and compassion.
EFF is passionate about giving children in America opportunities to help others less fortunate. It is vital to introduce the importance of humanitarianism at a young age as well as having personal relationships with kids from different cultures. Our goal is to raise young adults who care about the world, its’ people and know they can personally make a difference in a child’s life.

COLORADO INTERNATIONAL THEATRE TROUPE visits Ethiopian Children for theatrical adventure – 2009
Dean Hodes, age 11, nephew of Dr. Rick Hodes and son of EFF founder Marla Hodes, traveled with an international theatre group, Mudd Butts International, based out of Telluride, Colorado to live and do theatre with Ethiopian students in Wondo Genet , a small village 6 hours out of Addis Ababa. The Telluride thespians raised over $3000 to help destitute children in Ethiopia and took school supplies, warm blankets and clothes for the families of Wondo Genet. The amazing trip culminated in a show “Fire On The Mountain” based around an Ethiopian tale with the American students acting along side their Ethiopian counterparts.
