August 4, 2020

Although we are yet to be able to visit each other we remain in close contact and continue to progress a number of projects, and help where we can from afar.

Health Clinic Donation

We continue to support the Ossu Health Clinic, and they have recently been able to secure additional preventative essential COVID 19 supplies.

Book Publishing – Manual de Resumo’ de Bilogia

Memensio Sequeira Freitas, a professor at the General Secondary School of Olocassa Ossu and Joa da Costa professor at the Sao Pedro School in Dill launched the Biology Summary Manual for High School.

Published in Timor- Leste this book has been written in Portuguese and covers a broad spectrum of biology topics for secondary school students including biodiversity, evolution, and classification.

The Willougby Friends of Ossu are pleased to support this publication through the donation of funds to produce copies for local schools.

Teacher Exchange Program Update

We were ready for the 2020 Ossu teacher to leave in March, but due to Covid 19 this has been postponed to next year. The health and safety of our friends in Ossu remains most important.
