Highlights

Challenges

The Reformed Churches of Timor, New Hope and CRWRF through Pastor Ed Dethan and his Wife Femmy have provided physical relief in the forms of food, baby care and hygiene packages. 

They had a devastating Cyclone which has had a significant impact on the students living in the area. 

Covid has negatively impacted the people living in Timor physically and economically. Furthermore, schools were suspended in COVID and due to poor wifi it was difficult for the children to learn from home. 

The African swine flu wiped out thousands of pigs which came through West Timor. 

There has been little rain which means there is a loss of crops
