Two days in Dili

Just back after two interesting and intense days in Dili, Timor Leste (East Timor). The team was very well received by the local Rotary club. Pretty amazing that there is a Rotary club in a country not even three years old!

The roads in the mountain were as bad as the view was marvellous. Food fantastic, but obviously dangerous, since everybody but Jennie got sick. Personally I missed most of the programme, but at least I got to hear an interesting lecture at CAVR, the Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation.

And later in the evening, Jennie and I kind of improvised a presentation at the Rotary meeting, since our fellow Team Members lay sick in bed. But I think we did all right, under the circumstances.
