TIMOR-LESTE COMMUNITY UPDATE

Each year a group of St John’s Year 11 students and teachers travel to the poverty striken region of Timor Leste for an immersion tour. Many families in these communities are poverty striken and the impact of Covid-19 has increased the challenges for most. 

A significant problem for this community is that most people rely on their daily wage to survive the very next day, selling vegetables at the market to buy rice to feed the family dinner. Social distancing and lock-downs are being enforced meaning many families are unable to sell their crops and earn an income. Timor does not have the safety net of Centrelink or JobKeeper subsidies like we have here in Australia.

The ongoing support of Catholic Mission continues to assist these families. Click here to read more about the Timor Leste situation.
