Sponsoring a Florence Community School in Timor-Leste is one of the easiest ways to improve the lives of 70% of children who have no opportunity to receive preschool and kindergarten education. By becoming a school sponsor, you help the emotional, social, personal, and academic growth and development of children. Research has shown that children who attend preschool are more likely to have better school readiness skills than those who do not.

Florence was a teacher in Australia. She loved teaching children and helping the needy in her community. In 1954, Florence and her husband Harold left their comfortable life in Australia and moved to what was then Portuguese Timor.
Florence found Timor to be beautiful and Timorese very friendly. She wrote that people mix well with all races and classes and felt in her heart that Timor was “God’s island”.
She started to teach English in her home. Florence and her husband helped the sick and needy. They organized prayer sessions with the community. The study of the English language enabled some of her students to go and work as nurses in Darwin and Brisbane in Australia. This is the work we aim to continue.
