The Campaspe Timor-Leste Friendship Group has extended its thanks to all those involved in the Konsertu held in Echuca in April. The musical, open-air event raised about $1000 for the people of Liquidoe in East Timor's Aileu Province. The friendship group's chairperson, Campaspe Mayor Judi Lawler said many people donated time, goods and goodwill to ensure the afternoon was successful. Cr Lawler said the group was supporting two students with scholarships worth $1000 a year and would provide the Alternative Technology Association with $500 towards the cost of installing a small wind turbine to generate electricity in areas with no connection to electrical power.
The friendship group meets in the Echuca shire offices every two months on the first Monday of the month. The next meeting is on Monday, August 7, at 7.30pm and everyone is welcome. For information, call Freya Fidge on 5481 2202.
