RC Melbourne Funds a Year of Teacher Training
I’m delighted to announce that the fabulous people at Rotary Club of Melbourne are funding a series of two day workshops for teachers from our schools over the next year. Many Timorese teachers have little or no training, so this will have a massive impact on the quality of their teaching. The sessions we conducted last year were a great success and this funding allows us to build on that work. RC Melbourne’s funding also pays for bright educational games and resources for each teacher to take back into the classrooms. 2013’s workshops will start soon!

MAC and the puppets
The 24 animal puppets have arrived in Timor and been delivered to MAC – the fab youth rights group in Dili. I love the look on the face of the little boy with the crocodile puppet. Two sets of puppets will stay with MAC for their performances – the other two sets will be given to the remote Ostico and Macuale schools when MAC perform for them. The puppets have come from Bangladesh via Earthlink Handcrafts, to Brisbane with my girls, now to MAC in Dili. The next step of their journey will take them via 4WD into the mountains about 4 hours from Dili.
