Sacred Heart College Geelong
Sr Carole McDonald, Social Justice contact for the Sisters of Mercy Melbourne and Jeff Burn, Principal of Sacred Heart College Geelong, visited East Timor from April 19-25, 2006.

Funding for Trip: Mercy Works Inc       

Purpose:

  • To see evidence of the funds raised to support the Catholic school at Odafuro
  • To further pursue how to assist the Catholic Education Office of Baucau in the provision of Catholic education.

    The Australian Marist Brothers were our hosts in Baucau and assisted in making arrangements to meet Sr Herminia Assistant Director of Catholic Education in the Diocese

  • East Timor UPDATE

    • It looks like we will continue to support the schools that Principal, Jeff Burn and Sr Carole visited and also pursue connections through the Friendship Schools Project as we can be linked eventually with schools in that region, rather than with Viqueque which is the place Geelong is linked. That way, we can keep up our commitment but start to work within a program that has an established development model.
