This Palms Post explores new directions for Palms Australia, including a new website, new design for Palms Post itself, new programs and new engagement with government.
There is also a theme focussing on the variety of different programs Palms is running in partnership with Timorese communities, including a touching letter from a partner thanking Palms for the volunteers we have provided.
