Calling
all coats
Imagine
you live high in the rugged mountains of East Timor and instead of being hot,
its actually bleedingly cold and for many months of the year, extremely wet -
and you are clad in thongs and a t-shirt or cotton blouse. The Blue Mountains
East Timor Sisters (women not nuns) have been supporting women in East Timor
for many years now. Bush Lemons has joined the effort too that has resulted in
construction of a primary school, development of a secondary school, assisting
women to build small economic enterprises, literacy, preschools, scholarships
for girls to attend university and more. Some BL members are going to Timor in
mid July and we are appealing for donations of second hand jackets. raincoats
and beanies to take over. BL has gathered gear like this before to send and it
was welcomed with massive excitement. If you have quality, smaller rather than
larger gear that you no longer need, please donate it to East Timor. Let Jude
Finch know on 0474 749343 or leave it with Joc when you come up to walk, Needed
by 10 July. Thanks / obrigada barak. Jude
