Every year SHC sponsors young women from our community partner school, CTID in Baucau, to go to teachers college to obtain Bachelor degrees in Education. These graduates, in turn go out into their communities to improve educational standards for Timorese children.

Sr Maria is the Madre at CTID and has sent the following photos of Merita and Alzira, whose dreams for a better future have been made possible by the generous donations of the SHC community.

Sr Maria writes, "Thank you so much for helping. God will bless and keep you".
