From all of us here at Alola Foundation in Timor Leste, we would like to thank all of our supporters for their generosity in 2009. With your help we have been able to continue our work in maternal and child health, in education, in empowering women through advocacy and livelihoods initiatives. Our production centre, creating handcrafts from local materials, and our retail outlet have both grown during the year, and our successful Xmas Fair was again an opportunity for people to come and buy the products of Timor Leste. For those of you who are not in Timor Leste and who wish to support our work, we have 3 Gift Certificate choices available this year: support our provision of maternity packs, or sponsor a scholarship for a Timorese girl to attend high school, or help a Timorese woman with materials to create a livelihood.
