On August 16th, Sheffield Oromo Community Association (representing Oromo people from Ethiopia, northern Kenya and Somalia) organised a visit to Scarborough for our members, young and old.
Our aim was to introduce community members to parts of the UK they wouldn't have seen before, and to help bond the group together.
The Sheffield Oromo community also plan to visit other Oromo communities in places like Leeds and Bradford, so that we can share our experiences and learn from each other, to help to build stronger associations and communities. Thanks to support from the Big Lottery Fund for supporting our activity.
