Guest Speaker 28 January 2014 - Sue Alexander
Sue is a nurse/midwife who has been visiting Timor Leste, at her own expense and under the difficulties of knee problems, since 2009. She has been volunteering her services at the St Bakhita Community Clinic, a severely underdeveloped and underprovisioned facility situated in a remote mountain area. Sue gave us a comprehensive update on her last trip to Timor Leste, during some of which time she was joined by her husband Ron, and friends Brian and Marlene Poole.

Towards Phase 3, A$5,000 has been received from Broome Club plus A$2,500 has been received from one of my corporate client.
