HERA SCHOOL CELEBRATION

A brief report from PP Richard in Timor Leste
There was a grand 4 hour celebration to mark the conclusion of the construction phase of the Hera pre-school, with singing and traditional dancing and honours for Barry Starr and myself and of course in absentia to Graeme Robinson and all the donors.
Distinguished guests included an army Lieutenant General, a senior executive from the Department of Education, and senior representatives from the local community and from the Australian and US embassies.
Many members of the local community were there with young children as well so hopefully many will be prospective parents.
 
And below is a photo of the first classroom:
