Help is needed by the Mount Alexander East Timor friendship group to assist a remote Timorese region whose crops for the season have been destroyed by storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Friends of Lolotoe recently heard from Felly Maja, the teacher-librarian they have connections with, that the area suffered devastating storms that had destroyed their crops resulting in severe food insecurity for the coming months. The region is very remote with incredibly difficult roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At its last meeting, the group decided to set up a Storm Damage Relief Fund to provide rice and oil. This will be given out via the in-country committee members working in Lolotoe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friends of Lolotoe has committed $2000 AUD of the group’s funds and they are are requesting donations from the Mount Alexander community to add to this.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you would like to make a donation (every little bit helps), the banking details are account name: Friends of Lolotoe, BSB: 633000 and Account number: 135490555. Reference: your surname + STORM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
