The little ones enjoyed a week at the beach – some seeing the sea for the first time – while others attended scout camp. Day trips to the zoo, Disneyland, gardens and adventure parks all provided an important space for fun and learning.

This is baby Alfredo, one of the 100,000 disadvantaged Timorese people who receive free medical care from the Order of Malta’s clinic in Dili each year.
The clinic's doctors detected and treated a potentially life-threatening infection, saving Alfredo from pain and complications.
This year a Global Fund for Forgotten People grant is supporting a new outreach programme at the clinic, doubling the number of people who can receive lifesaving care.
