ETWA Yummy Chocodiles

Easter Chocodiles

Proceeds for East Timor

2010 is going be a massive year for ETWA. With critical new projects to resource, we’ve stepped-up our fundraising efforts and developed a new, economical- and even more delicious– Easter Chocodile!

Our funky Chocodiles are now hand-made by renowned chocolatier Hahndorf’s using delicious, high-grade couveture chocolate, available in milk, dark and white to suit the most discerning of chocolate connoisseur’s.

Inspired by East Timor’s creation story, Chocodiles are a great (and  ethical!) alternative to Easter eggs, with the Crocodile Legend included inside each pack to share with children (and adults!) of all ages.

At only $5.00, each pack contains two 28gm cute, hand-made chocolate Crocodiles and eating chocolate never felt this good as you know the  profits help East Timorese women and their families.

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE ORDER FORM (PDF)

Order by mail, fax or email and pay by credit card, cash or cheque.

To receive your Chocodiles in time for Easter Sunday (4th April), orders and payments must be finalised by Monday 22nd March. Pre- Easter delivery will not be guaranteed for orders received after this date.

Indulge yourself this Easter and make the switch to ETWA Chocodiles!

Every order helps, so please encourage your friends, family and work colleagues to order Chocodiles to help free East Timorese women from the burdens of poverty.

If you like a challenge and working with like-minded people, come along and help out at one of our many events for the remainder of 2009. We’ve set a fundraising and product sales target of $3,000 this Christmas season and we need help to acheive this.

Giving a few hours to help ETWA between now and Christmas will make a massive difference to the lives of women in East Timor.

Complete a Contact Form and type volunteer in the subject line.

For almost two years we’ve been working towards building spaces specifically for women in the three remote communities and we’re almost there!  Thanks to Rotary, we almost have sufficient resources to complete the projects however we still need a bit more cash and many pairs of skilled hands when construction commences in August 2009.
