Fundraiser for recovery of Zumalai

In mid August terrible news was reported when there was an incident of civil unrest in a number of outlying villages in the Zumalai sub-district that led to the stabbling murder of a policeman and the burning of around 100 houses. We have information that a number of families have found shelter in the Church in Zumalai town. Calm has been restored but a number of families have been left without homes. The people of Zumalai have asked for help with some emergency funding for food and clothing.  A member of the Friend of Zumalai-Kiama Council NSW is organising a fundraiser and we will pass on the information when it is available.

For more details of the incident and follow up by the law, and to follow  all current affairs from East Timor we recommend http://www.etan.org and http://timortoday.com/
