Flashcards Event
Please join us in this great event. We are designing flashcards for the children in the Ambo Lazarist Deaf school.
The children will use the flashcards to sign out what they see on the card. The cards will have words in both English and Oromo (which is the language they speak in the village)
There is a variety to choose from,
animals / foods / drinks – pick your favourite!!
You simply need to download whichever PDF you like, either colour it yourself or with children. There is no limit so please do as many as you can! Please be as creative as you like with your designing but be mindful that the cards are educational tools.

When it is completed scan it back onto the computer and email it to:

We will be running this initiative from the 13th of September to the 31st of October 2021. Once we have all the cards back, we will laminate them and ship them to Ethiopia.
It will be a fun activity for us in Ireland to design and its both fun and and educational tool for the children in Ethiopia to learn.Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions
