It’s only a week after Team 4’s return to Oz – just enough time for then to pass the baton to our final team for this year. Team 5 hits Timor’s shores today and will be bringing with them enough materials to sustain our Maubara crew (and all our mentees) on the ground for the next 6 months – we won’t be sending anyone over until March next year. Fingers crossed we got the numbers right!

Team 5 consists of the TLDP Program Coordinator, Dr Blanche Tsetong, TLDP veteran, Dr Mary Tuituinnik, and two new volunteers, Dr Kim Hartley and Dr Leslie Leong. The team heads to Maubisse for a week and then will be finishing off the work in 5 schools in the Maubara and Loes regions. Have fun team!
