A message from our Timor-Leste Sisters

Dear Manas,
Thank you very much for your great attention, moral and solidaridy support. We are very pleased to get your support message. Beba's family even already back home, but still worried with situation. Even though our Prime Minister already declare regarding the agreement of Tasi Timor that mentioned Australia fifty % and Timor-Leste fifty%; at the same day, all the Australian military and Police took over and contorled the situation, specially in Beba's place that was dangerous, immediately returned in peacefull. Now Emercio and Donazio can play and talked loudly at night time and watching the television. Mana, just our observation during this crucial time.
We are waiting to see you soon and others sisters to discuss the possibility to realize the Hatubuilico project. And also we are hoping the situation will be in peace and we can do our activities as normally.
Recently we have a visitor form Sydney, her name is Anita, a friend of Elisa da Silva, our consulate in Sydney. She wants to visit Mana Kassian's Community and Marta's Group, but unfortunately we couldn't reach out because of the situation. We just visited Rede Feto, Alola Foundation and other group such as Melita Verdial factory behind my house in Taibesse.
lots of love to all of you,
Laura and Beba
