They made it!!

Rotarians Libby Bleakley and Teresa Beck (both Australian Federal Police Members) have completed their 357km ‘Trek-4-Timor’, arriving at Parliament House in Canberra last Saturday afternoon. Earlier this month they set off from Martin Place in Sydney and trekked south for the nation’s capital to raise funds for a youth and community centre in Timor-Leste.

The trek wasn’t always smooth sailing with many blisters and long, hot days, but they were sustained by a support team along the way.

Timorese Ambassador Abel Guterres joined Libby and Teresa for the last few kilometres of the trek.

All funds raised from their trek are being used to complete construction of a youth and community centre in Timor-Leste, which will focus on crime reduction through positive engagement

You can follow Libby and Teresa’s progress with their project at Timor Learning Centre on Facebook.
