On other front, Elizabeth, a happy girl from Australia, has graciously joined us in Timor to volunteer her time, working as a doctor at the local hospital, and giving health lectures. Her medical knowledge and expertise, as well as her careful bedside manner has brought relief to locals who now better understand their health conditions and various ways to manage them.

Also proficient in music and conducting, she has started a choir in the capital city of Dili to teach 4 part harmony to those eager to sing.
