2021 – US$35,000 2 Classroom Pre-School and Toilets 

The pre-school’s 45 children were being taught in a windowless tin hut and there was as many other children nearby who didn’t go to pre-school because there was no space.  East Timor Trading is a Timorese family-owned company which believes passionately in the need to educate Timor’s children.  They donated the full project cost of $35,000 to build a new pre-school and toilets.  The pre-school was officially opened by His Excellency, President Dr José Ramos Horta and re-named Pre-Escolar Avo Ana Arena Olimpia de Almeida Epelo in honour of the family matriach.
