A huge "Congratulations" to Geoff Gemmell, who completed the 72km walk from Dili to Letefoho, Timor Leste!
Geoff is an avid walker and bell ringer, who walked to raise funds for the community of Letefoho. He has raised $25,000 to contribute to 1) the wages of the teachers at Our Lady of Mt Carmel Senior High School in Letefoho 2) the belltower for the new chapel in Eraulo, a village of Letefoho that is central to the district.
The road is sealed only halfway. It is busy, dusty, hot and humid and almost all uphill!
Geoff accomplished a difficult task with the support of Maxi from Letefoho and the East Timorese people he met along the way.
He arrived to a huge village welcome and just in time for Mass on Sunday morning.
If you would like to contribute to Geoffs walk please donate through the LETS.
