To Whom It May Concern - Blair Forster Trust

As an international member of the Timorese community which I have been part of for over four years now, I would like to pass on my congratulations to the Blair Forster Trust for the amazing work that you are doing.

I have personally known five of the student who have been successful in receiving the opportunity to study abroad. I am sure that you are aware of what a life changing event this is for any young person in Timor. Often this is an experience that not only benefits them as an individual but also their family and their community as a whole.

I would also like to commend the Trust for their fund raising efforts both in Hong Kong and abroad. Of particular note are the boxed cards that I was fortunate enough to purchase recently. This outstanding product is an important sign of the link between Hong Kong and Timor Leste. These cards provide an opportunity to share the story of Timor Leste and others around the world.

Please accept my heartfelt congratulations; I am sure that Blair Forster would be very proud to have Timor promoted so positively and impressively not to mention so widely in his memory.

I hope to visit Hong Kong later this year and should the opportunity arise I would love to meet you all personally to share with you the everyday stories of the lives you have changed and continue to change.

With many thanks
