4th Term, 2006

Not a great photo, look pretty serious and enjoying their McDonalds, but Therese, Josita and Sebina left Darwin at 1.10am this morning, arrived in Brisbane at 5.30am and we drove up for the fresh term at Downlands arriving at 10.30am. A long haul and they are tired!

First time out of Darwin for Sebina. Noel the Tiwi father, could not express his appreciation for what Downlands had done for Therese and Josita. "They came back so assured and Holy, I am so proud of them" he said.

Start of a new term and it will be easier now the Toowoomba cold can be forgotten. An eight week term and the girls are really dedicated to working hard and using their time for the good of people back home.

Keep them in your prayers!
