More Donated Furniture for Spend it Well Schools
To reduce deforestation, the East Timorese govt has put strict controls on the use of new wood. Rotary is helping to address the resulting shortage of school furniture (made of wood) by shipping used school furniture from Australia to East Timor.
Our school at Ostico was the beneficiary of some of this furniture last year. Now Rotary has provided Spend it Well with more furniture for Ostico, Lequeracabu’u and also the two new schools we plan to build this year at Maucale and Macalaco.

Maucale School to cost $35,000
Agostinho has negotiated a cost of $35,000 for the Maucale School. The school needs to be constructed to withstand the high winds in the area and will have solid concrete foundations and a roof guaranteed by the builder to last 25-30 years. Simon, Agostinho and Dinis are meeting with Rozi, the builder this week for further discussions. We’ll be in a position to start work as soon as the rainy season finishes if we can raise the remaining funds needed.
