Governor of Queensland Visits Tiwi Kids


The Governor of Queensland heard or the good work of the Tiwi kids and decided to support them with a visit. Noel and Eusebia came down, because they are the main ones keeping the Downlands Education scheme together.

The Governor is Ms Quentin Bryce and you can read of her at http://www.govhouse.qld.gov.au/

A Governor is not just a person, she speaks on behalf of Queenslanders. When Parliament passes a law, it becomes legal when the Governor adds her signature. When Governor Bryce decided to support Tiwi kids, she represents the Government of Queensland and the people of Queensland - including the new Queenslander Prime Minister: TheTiwi community is doing the right thing sending kids to Downlands!

Noel and Eusebia leave Brisbane tonight and will arrive back on the Tiwi Islands tomorrow morning. Before leaving for the airport Noel and Eusebia will pray at the 6.00pm OLR Kenmore Mass, because it is the parish St Vincent de Paul Society wich is their prime support.
