A group of volunteers from Reed Specialist Recruitment have just returned from Ethiopia, where they were working with Hope Enterprises, the House of Angels, Addis Development Vision and Chad Et.

The story of one of the children being supported by Ethiopiaid, Massacar, a ten year old boy with a severe case of cerebral palsy, really touched the group's hearts:

"Massacar's mother is forced to work to feed her family but the hard truth is she has to leave him alone for seven hours each day, strapped to his chair, until she can return. He is visited twice a week by a counsellor from ADV who provides rehabilitation, and judging by his face when he saw her it is clearly worthwhile."
