3 Trips to Timor Leste now done and dusted!!

Following the initial trips in April and June, the third team for 2019 headed to Dili in September for 10 days.

The students did some initial learning before they arrived through tutorials Jennifer prepared and sent online. Then a team of 3 headed over for intensive training and practical workshops. These trainers work so hard while they are there - Abbey Pryde returned for the second time this year and was ably assisted by Stella Jones who has travelled to Bangladesh to train previously.

Adele's Story

"I’ve spent a lot of time travelling the world and living abroad but the week I spent with Jen and Debra in Bangladesh was by far the most life enriching adventure I’ve been on! From the moment you arrive in Bangladesh you are overwhelmed - the smells, the sounds, but mostly the amount of people crammed into such a small space!
