Current Projects
IVL is always seeking collaborators and supporters for our projects.
Here we summarize what we are doing and planning in case you would like to plug in!
English Lessons

Lalibela, Ethiopia
The English Lessons are part of our effort to provide services to the community that are greatly in need. Learn more on our page detailing the program.


High School English Program Research Project
Status: Active
Lalibela, Ethiopia
IVL will be working with the local High School to identify weaknesses and strengths in their English program, with the intention of helping make improvements as needed.
Lasta Café Programs
Reggae Fridays
Status: Pending
Lalibela, Ethiopia
This weekly event will allow individuals from all over the community to come together over some roots music and drinks. Currently we are in need of support to launch.

Meditation & Yoga Sessions
Status: Planned
Lasta Café, Lalibela, Ethiopia
The meditation and yoga sessions will be held separately, though we are in need of yoga mats currently, as they are not accessible here in our location. Never the less, these events will be available at the Café in the near future.
Self Defense & Mixed Martial Arts
Status: Planned
Lasta Café, Lalibela, Ethiopia
While we are in need of funding for the G's (dojo appearal) and defense pads, we are planning to launch this weekly class in the very near future.
The Soup Kitchen
Status: Pending
Lasta Café, Lalibela, Ethiopia
With the right kind of support, we intend to host a weekly feeding for the local community members in need.
