<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Dear UNIFEM Canberra Chapter Members and
Friends</SPAN><SPAN

<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Please consider joining us at the combined
Alola Foundation/UNIFEM Breakfast on Monday 11 May. We hope to raise enough
money to build a small annex at Dili hospital for families of birthing mothers
as well as to support the UNIFEM Timor Leste Peace Scholarship Program to
provide additional training and learning opportunities for a young Timor Leste
woman working in the area of child and maternal health in Timor
Leste.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #003300">Timor Leste has one of the
highest maternal and child mortality rates in the world - 830 mothers in every
100,000 live births and 85 babies in every 1,000 live births. Many women do not
come to health facilities because they do not want to be away from family
support. Many of the birthing complications are as a result of the mother
suffering from conditions such as malnutrition, malaria and TB, which are
prevalent in Timor-Leste. Currently, only 10% of pregnant women give birth under
skilled care. This project endeavours to encourage women to give birth in a
health facility, in safety, with dignity and with family support.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #003300">For only $AU10,000 it will be
possible to be a self contained annexe to Dili Hospital to accommodate family
members of birthing mothers. </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #003300">UNIFEM Australia has committed
to support the academic learning opportunities young women from Timor Leste in
Australia. Our first Timor Leste Peace Scholar, a teacher/educator in maternal
and child health who works in the Dili Institute of Health Sciences, has
commenced her studies in Canberra (English) and will join us at the
breakfast.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #003300">Please see the attached flyer
for easy online booking arrangements. We would be very delighted if you could
distribute this among your networks and encourage them to join us on the morning
of the 11th - we are aiming for a full house.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #003300">Please do not hesitate to
contact me if I can help with further information. </SPAN></P>
