In 2002, two volunteers travelled from Ireland to volunteer in the small school of Atse, run by the Daughters of Charity in Addis Ababa. Since then, hundreds of volunteers have travelled to projects in Bahir Dar, Woylita, Addis Ababa, Ambo, Atse, Mekele, Jimma, Bruh Tesfa, Alitena, Bonga, Bulbula, Nekempte, and Alemachen to Vincentian Fathers and Daughters of Charity projects in the areas of education, health, administration and community development.<\/p><p>The Ambo Lazarist Deaf School (ALDS) was established by the Vincentian Fathers and VLM in 2012 with financial support from the Castleknock College community and Misean Cara. Since then, the Ethiopia Deaf Project (EDP) committee of VLM has fundraised tirelessly to support the running costs of the Deaf School every year. Ethiopia is a landlocked country located in the Horn of Africa area of East Africa.
