PRE-SCHOOL
PRE-SCHOOL IN BALIBO
Xanadu is seeking to raise funds of $20,000.00 which will enable construction of the pre-school, daily education and feeding of the children, and health care for 2-5 year olds and their families.
If you can help see our information on how to make a donation on this page.
You will be participating in making such a difference in the lives of these village families, if you can help.
The PRR order of nuns, who have been involved with the village life at Balibo for more than 10 years, are currently running a pre-school for children aged 2-5, from borrowed rooms in the area. They, and the village of Balibo, would love to have their own premises, so that the sisters are able to properly care for these children from very poor families, and feed them daily on the recognized Timor malnutrition program. Malnutrition, lack of running water, lack of adequate hygiene and education are major contributors to such high levels of illness and death of young children in Timor. A pre-school dedicated to their needs, with teaching facilities, playground, and kitchen will aid their survival enormously.
A donation of $6.00 will buy one bag of cement, and aid in the construction of this important facility.
