We are currently raising money to build a secondary high school for students of Escola Pre-Secondaria Foho Ailico, Bei Cala, Timor Leste. With generous support we have so far raised $8000 of the estimated $19000 needed to building a basic community built school. It will have a cement slab and wooden frame and walls with galvanised iron roof. While very basic by our standards it will improve the facilities for students and allow them to achieve their goals of a secondary education.

It is hoped the school will be built before the next rainy season but this will depend on total funds raised, weather and availability of builders as it will predominately built by the Bei Cala community.

Grub Club Chairperson Debbie Locke is planning to visit the village and region in the near future and report back on progress.  Anyone who wishes to contribute can direct deposit funds to
