Who Gave Belola School Their Playground?
Belola School’s beautiful playground would not be there without the time and effort given by many people at the City of Geelong, Omnitech Playgrounds, Rotary Donations in Kind, Rotary Club of Flemington, Rotary Balibo Project Partnership and the Rotary Foundation. The playground had a long journey. It was dismantled in Geelong, re-conditioned (including replacing many components), cleaned, packed with assembly instructions, shipped to Dili, trucked to remote Belola and then re-assembled. Thank you to everyone involved in that process. It was worth it!

Belola School Is Officially Open!
Belola School has been opened with much pomp, ceremony, colour and enthusiasm. Myself, Nandy, Simon and Agostinho from Spend it Well were there to celebrate with the villagers and with our partners in the project, the Balibo House Trust and Rotary.

New School Celebration at Belola
There’s not much better than helping a village celebrate their new school, when less than a year ago they didn’t have one. That’s what Balibo House Trust, Rotary and Spend it Well will be doing next Wednesday at Belola Prep-2 school. I can’t wait to see the kids in their new school!
