Rachel is founder and leader of “Gach Duine” - A young Irish group which is working with the communities in the Rural Bale Region of Ethiopia. The two villages we are primarily working with are Adaba and Dodola. In these villages the lack of basic services such as eductaion, health, shelter and food is preventing development socially, economically and culturally. We are currently fundraising to build a community centre for abused women and street children in the village of Adaba. We will begin work on this project in June 2008. Half of all ticket sales will go this great project.
