In East Timor, two thirds of women aged 15-60 and almost half of the men are illiterate, destined to a life deprived of the benefits that even the most basic reading and writing skills can give.

With your help, however, the next generation can look forward to better things - because your support of the Alola Foundation Scholarship program will help remove the economic and cultural barriers that keep so many young Timorese from starting and completing an education.

This will provide a 12-month scholarship, supporting the costs of a full year's schooling, to a young Timorese girl or boy. Your help is urgently needed ­ especially by young girls in rural areas. The Scholarship you provide is a gift that lasts a lifetime. Please, purchase these scholarships on behalf of your friends and loved ones this Christmas. They make wonderful gifts that keep on giving.
