Join our Family of Over 45-Strong Volunteers.
Our Australian Volunteer Program is the core and life-force of BETTER. Without our volunteers, we would not be able to accomplish our mission and we wouldn’t be here today.
BETTER is 100% volunteer lead with our volunteer workforce contributing approximately 200 hours per week. How we do this? We create a win-win partnership in which volunteers reach their own personal goals whilst assisting BETTER to achieve our vision.
Better's Volunteers
We are proud to introduce you to a handful of our BETTER Volunteer-Force!
Annie
Annie is the Team Leader responsible for Curriculum Development Team.
Annie says
“BETTER gives hope and a pathway to a better future for children who don’t have the same opportunities as Australian kids. As a teacher & education writer it is good to use my skills for something so worthwhile.”
Margie Beck
My name is Margie Beck. I began my teaching career in 1970, finally ending up in Timor-Leste for 20 years at the Catholic Teachers College in Baucau. Here I was a lecturer and an administrator, but I did a lot of professional development of teachers in schools throughout the country. Being fluent in Tetum has been a great advantage in my work.
I retired in May this year but am very happy to make some contribution to BETTER Timor.
