Craigieburn Pythons goal:
"Our aim is to try send a 40 foot container of clothing, shoes, sporting equipment & stationary.
We have been in contact directly with bishop Dom Virgilio do Carmo in Dili and the Bishop has also mentioned that the victims of these floods are in real need of pots, pans, trays, cups and cutlery as most households lost these items during the floods". If you have any of these items that are still in good condition please put them aside and send them through.
All funds raised are to pay for this container and also purchase additional items to fill the container. Any extra money we raise will go straight to the diocese of Dili - Bishop Virgilio do Carmo and Father Leandro Maria Alves. The diocese of Dili are the organisation on the ground in East Timor that will receive and distribute these items".
