ISF donates money to orphanage
Remembrance Day 2010 has brought smiles to the faces of children thanks to the contributions of New Zealand and Australian troops serving in East Timor.
At the International Stabilisation Force (ISF) Headquarters in Dili the sale of Remembrance Day poppies raised nearly $500.
Given the history of recent conflict in the small nation the decision was made to gift the money to the Santa Bakhita Orphanage, a local facility which has a history of taking in children who have lost their parents due to conflict.
