Six Volunteers have confirmed their participation in Team 2, to visit Timor Leste in October. Team 1 took a number of measurements for Water Tanks and Toilets at various schools during their recent visit. The exact locations where Team 2 will work during the upcoming visit will be identified when John Walmsley returns from his trip in couple of weeks.
PDG Don Jago is planning to send a container of 'goodies' (from DIK) to a School located south of Dili very soon. It appears that the 40 foot container will have some space available for sending goods from DIK to the Baguia region where we are implementing our Consortium project.
Leopoldina (our project coordinator in Baguia) sent a wish-list comprising: school furniture, school uniforms, book shelves, stationery, mattresses. We will be sending some of these items to fill the space available.
Toorak Primary School has donated 25 chairs, 20 tables and 4 large book shelves to Buawa Laveteri Primary School in Baguia. Team 1 installed a Water Tank at this school which was sponsored by Toorak Primary School.
The container will be packed on Sat. 11th Aug.'18 from 9AM. You are welcome to spend a couple of hours at DIK to pack the container. Please let me know if you are available to give us a hand.
