Once More in the Land of the Crocodile

I’m in Timor Leste once a gain completing the last few days on the Mercy Corps training program at the vocational training centre, CNEFP at Timor about 30 minutes west of Dili. I’ve posted a story on CNEFP in the past here.

This is the final phase of the contract this week. Next week I am doing some volunteer work for the ATA before returning home for a while. I must admit, I’m not looking forward to the wild and freezing weather in Melbourne at the moment.

Anyway, I thought I would share a few rag-tag happy snaps of Today’s activities with you.

On the way to Tibar. They have finished the main fountain near the entrance to the airport. Very imposing!

How could I pass up the opportunity to show you St Michael’s 🙂

Along with everybody else including mum, dad and the baby.

I hope you have enjoyed the happy snaps. I will have a few more, no doubt, over the next two weeks including a few from the districts where we will be installing some systems in a school and some houses 🙂

  1. I got a bit confused over an optical illusion in that first image. It looked like that man on the motorbike was carrying that HUGE statue/fountain (whatever it is…) on his head! Cheers for sharing this most interesting info here. You are most industrious and a sterling example of what we should all be doing 🙂

  2. Ha Ha! I hadn’t noticed that on the picture before. Now I can’t “un”see it 😀
