Presidential Prattlings

Our speaker on Tuesday from "Friends of Baguia" was Derarca O'Mahony, who told us about this mountainous sub-district, south-east of Baucau in Timor. Travel between Baucau and Baguia is uncomfortable and slow: the local three-ton trucks carry passengers and take about five hours due to many stops and the difficulty getting through damaged sections of the roadway.

Derarca outlined how her friendship group is able to help education in the area.

It was good to greet visiting David Caldwell, and to see Neil Roberts back: he is preparing a segment for our Diamond Jubilee which is sure to rock our socks off. 

So no meeting next Tuesday: get ready for the Jubilee!

Ed: Gordon's thought for the week didn't make it for lack of deep philosophical content!
