Thank you. Can anyone of you tell me what it's like to live in Addis Ababa and to be deaf or blind or disabled? I have heard that Deaf people are treated very badly by Ethiopians due to their ignorance of disabilities.

At Addis Ababa University there is a sign language programme for undergraduates. Also, I notice a lot of blind people at Siddist kilo campus and they are always very kindly assisted by seeing students.
I think at the university you may be able to find people who would be able to tell you about life of deaf, blind and other disabled people.

Wow, it is awesome that you are coming to volunteer!!! We need more people like you   I know one thing being disabled in Ethiopia sucks; I am sure your visit will bring light to the situation!

Let me know if you need anything b4 ur big move

hi FantaLove, thank you for your nice comment I will be sure to contact you if I have any questions before coming to Ethiopia. I want to be very prepared for my stay in Addis Ababa
