This is our grandfather who passed away in 2018. He was proud of his Eritrean culture to the end and did whatever he could to give back to his country.
Eritrea Donations
Activity Gallery
In addition to the food drop-offs, Founders, Qais and Kanzah, went to Eritrea for an extended stay to bring donations for people and dental offices, and to volunteer at a local private dentist office and dental hospital in Keren, Eritrea. They were also able to spend our days getting to know their culture and heritage in Keren through visiting the high school that their grandfather founded and built and also through staying at their grandfather’s home with their grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins. Their trip to Eritrea was paid for privately as ALL donations that go to Eritrea Donations goes to resources to help those in need. Scroll down for more pictures.
President, Hesham, has continued taking over the leadership of collecting and distributing donations.
