Serenity was able to help a team connected with the Yooralla work and Greg Buxton to build a small house for a widow. Greg, Perry, Paula and others did a great job in coordinating the work. A friend of Serenity’s was also able to visit and get up to all sorts of mischief.
Two cool chicks - Serenity and Grace with homemade facials.
We’ve been blessed with Entrega Ba organising cooking training for our cooks resulting in some delicious meals.

I’ve also (finally) completed our chicken pen. This has been the result of 5 years of trialling different local materials and designs and even importing rolls of chicken wire from China. The final product is a simple rectangle pen with a covered roof. The chickens are endowed with expert acrobatic abilities through generations of having to out run dogs, cats, rats, snakes and each other. 
Tobias learnt how to make a sturdy chicken pen door that he hopefully wont need to fix for some time to come.
Raising chickens in Timor-Leste is actually a real challenge. The first step is to find a mesh that wont rust. Thanks to cooperation from the Nazareth Foundation and Concrete Products Business we were able to bring in 100s of rolls of quality, rust proof chicken wire which will hopefully save 1000s of chickens.
We now have not two but ten mildly happy chickens!
