Our Latest Appeal

Please read our latest appeal about the school we recently completed in Ossu and the new school we hope to construct in Garianna. There are 200 children in this village who are waiting for our assistance to give them a better education and a better start in life.

Dear friends,

During the crisis in April and May 2006, Life, Love and Health volunteers remained on the ground in Timor-Leste to distribute humanitarian aid including food, water and medicines to displaced and dispossessed men, women and children.

On 8 October Life, Love and Health hosted the ‘Timor Gathering’ a fundraising concert in Melbourne featuring Paul Kelly and the Hoodoo Gurus to raise funds and awareness for LL&H and our maternal health partner - The Alola Foundation. The First Lady of Timor Leste, Kirsty Sword Gusmao and the LL&H Patron the honorary Consul General of East Timor, Kevin Bailey, attended the evening. Thankyou to all that supported the event and volunteered to make this evening a great success.

As the Timor-Leste Government and the International community work to bring calm to Dili, we have continued our development work with our Community Development Partner AFAP and our Timorese NGO partners. We have projects underway in the areas of Maternal Health, Traditional Handicrafts, Sustainable Horticulture and Water and Sanitation. For further details please use the links on this homepage or contact us.
