Seattle-East Timor Relief Association

	Thank you to Ten Thousand Villages for donating 15% of its sales on December 7th to social justice projects in East Timor supported by the Seattle East Timor Relief Association. SETRA (www.timorrelief.org) provides humanitarian assistance to support grass roots organizations in East Timor dedicated to improved health for communities (Lafaek Diak), economic development (Tuba Rai Metin), food security (Just Seeds Gardeners of Eden), and alleviating infant malnutrition (HIAM Health). This December 7^th is the 35^th anniversary of the US backed invasion of East Timor by Indonesia. The ensuing occupation lasted 24 years and caused the death of approximately a third of the local population. East Timor has been independent since 2002, but it remains devastated from the effects of the occupation and is one of the world’s poorest countries. Ten Thousand Villages is located at NE 65^th and Roosevelt Way NE in Seattle and features fair trade gifts from all over the world. www.seattle.tenthousandvillages.com. For more information, contact Debra Morrison at (206) 523-3278 or (206) 369-3025.
