Newsletter – May 2015

Download the May 2015 Newsletter: ATLAS-Newsletter-May2015.

Here is the second newsletter of ATLAS, the Australia Timor-Leste Advancement Society. It was wonderful to know that ex-Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão attended Anzac Day ceremonies in Australia, and you can read about that in the newsletter. We’re going to be having an information event on Sunday 27th September which we think will interest you greatly. You can read about this and about St Therese’s Orphanage in this edition. Very best wishes to you from all at ATLAS.

If you’d like to subscribe to have the newsletter delivered directly to your in-box, please fill in the “Join our Newsletter” online form.
