CHRISTMAS trees that also give the gift of education in Timor Leste are being sold at Akoonah Park Market, Berwick.
Tree-selling organisers, Friends of Ermera, aim to send every dollar raised for education and training programs in the Ermera district of the island nation, formerly known as East Timor.
The trees, ranging from five to seven feet tall, can be pre-reserved and bought at the Akoonah Park Market on 11 December, 8am-1pm, or ordered by email or phone.
The friends group will deliver the trees within Casey for a small fee.
