Dear supporter,
Apologies for our long silence. In accordance with the 12mth mourning period in Timor-Leste, we put our reporting on hold after Ilda was involved in an horrendous bus accident. She survived but sadly, she lost her young son.
Thankfully, Ilda has recovered and returned to work and LO’UD is now back in full swing.
With government land secured and 50% of the funding needed, they’re almost ready to build their Business Sustainability Centre.
So here’s a shout out to you on LO’UD’s behalf.
Buy a textile for a loved one this Xmas or donate through Global Giving to help LO’UD seize this golden opportunity!
Profits from YOUR PURCHASE or DONATION will be invested in LO’UD’s Business Sustainability Centre.

Regards,
The ETWA Team!
