On 24th of April BETTER (Building East Timor Through Education & Resources) launched the Bakhita School of Excellence.

In attendance for the launch was President Dr. José Ramos-Horta and Cardinal Virgílio do Carmo da Silva SDB who travelled to the remote region of Same (Sah-may).

Education has a direct impact on the country’s economic growth and will provide a pathway out of poverty for their people.

What a day… After having this dream 10 years ago with Eddie De Pina I feel I am still living in a dream and it hasn’t hit me yet.

The smiles and excitement on the faces of the 50 children and their parents is truly something else!
