Friends of the Odd Bods have just made a substantial donation to Ryder Cheshire. In December a sum of A$2500 was donated which included funds directly allocated by members as part of the association’s annual subscription process.
Ryder Cheshire operate homes and clinics in India and Timor-Leste. We asked them if we could donate to a specific program of their choice and they nominated a special need for IT equipment at the Klibur Domin Centre in Timor-Leste.
Klibur Domin is a centre based at Tibar, about 17km from the capital, Dili. It provides a variety of programs to help those in need in Timor-Leste. These programs include an Inpatient Program for those recovering from illnesses or injuries, a Community Based Rehabilitation Program which supports children and adults with disability and provides respite care and access to education, a Mobile TB team to diagnose and treat those with tuberculosis in the community, and a dental clinic to provide dental treatment and oral health education.
On 2/1/2023 Ryder Cheshire wrote – “Thank you again for this very generous donation which will assist our home in KD Timor-Leste in upgrading its systems and accounting packages, thereby improving the efficiency with which they can deliver health programs.”
Friends of the Odd Bods also sponsor 4 students at the Raphael Centre in Dehradun, India, at a cost of A$1200 annually, and continue the good work set up by Odd Bods over many decades.
