WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING
Movie Fundraiser for Timor-Leste
While Damascus College cannot yet get to Timor Leste, we are still able to support those who are working in the ground.
Since 2013 the Immersion Team has been visiting Klibur Domin, a health facility in the village of Tibar (17km from the capital on the west road.) Klibur Domin means Sharing Love.
In 2016 we welcomed Senior Joachim Soares, the director of Klibur Domin, to Ballarat and to Damascus College. In 2018 he returned to again offer his thanks for the support of that the Immersion process has offered Klibur Domin. Klibur Domin was established in 2000 by Ryder-Cheshire Australia Ryder-Cheshire Australia - for the relief of suffering and is a Timorese NGO providing inpatient care, Tuberculosis (TB) treatment and community-based rehabilitation for those with disabilities.
TB is largely eradicated in Australia but remains endemic in Timor Leste.
The film Movie fundraiser WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING on 24th July @ 1:40 pm at Regent Cinemas will make a difference.
Tickets can be ordered by contacting the Ryder Cheshire members by phones numbers on the flier
Payment can be arranged by cash or direct debit.
