This is Daisy aka Daryl, the leader of the Dili Hash House Harriers who opened the door for Doug and I to survive and actually contribute during our stay in Dili. Daryl is also the leader of the Rotary Club in Dili. Through Doug's Brother-in-Law in Sydney, Australia, we made the connection with Daryl, and on our second day in Dili, we found ourselves working at St. Michael's School. Equally important was that he invited us to the Harriers where we immediately became part of the 50+ members of the group. It opened the door to a social network, but in a third world country it also gives you an important network needed for basic survival. The Hashers look out for each other in every way possible. Doug and I feel lucky to be a part of this incredible support network, thanks to Daryl. Daryl wears this red outfit only for the yearly Red Dress Run to raise money for the local Red Cross, (at least as far as I know!) PS Go Pies!
