We are excited to announce that we are preparing for our annual fundraising dinner in Melbourne. Our theme for the event is: Walking the Line –making the link between access to resources and women and children’s development in Timor-Leste. All proceeds will greatly contribute towards our shared vision with Fundasaun Alola “Strong Women, Strong Nation” and in particular, to expanding and strengthening the Suco Hadomi Inan no Oan Program (SHIO) –Our Village Loves Its Mothers and Babies Program in two remote villages: Kaimauk and Manumera in sub district Turiscai. Venue: Angliss Restaurant 550 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne
Come and hear Kim, Kirsty Sword Gusmao and Alzira Reis talk about this story of Australia's secret history and its links to access to resources for women and children in Timor-Leste.
“Joining me, Kim McGrath and Alzira Azzi Reis for Alola Australia’s annual fund-raising dinner on 20 October, you will be helping the Alola Foundation in Timor-Leste to ensure that some of the country’s most vulnerable women have a safe delivery and are equipped to give their newborns the best possible start in life. And surely that will put a smile on your dial? Looking forward to seeing you there”, Kirsty Sword Gusmao’s comments on Facebook
The evening will include a fundraising auction and we
would love to receive donations of items. If you would
