I want to publicly acknowledge an old friend of my mums, Marea Catherine RUSH, ( nee Brady ) who passed away in September last year. Her family got in touch and informed us that their mother had left some money in her will for the people of Timor Leste. We decided that our friends the Alma nuns were in great need of support, coincidently it has all come through on independence day. Much Love and thanks to the Rush family
