Journey to Timor-Leste with Catholic Mission

Показать описание

Timor-Leste is a small island nation located in Southeast Asia, 730 km north-west of Darwin, with its closest neighbour being Indonesia. After decades of violent conflict, the country secured its independence from Indonesia in 1999.

However, the road to independence came at a high cost for the local communities and harshly impacted rural economic development. Now, Timor-Leste is facing socio-economic challenges which significantly affect its development. As the Timorese people continue their journey to building a better future for themselves, Catholic Mission has traveled to meet with them to discover more about their daily life and the challenges they face.

This journey, both physical and spiritual, has led to beautiful encounters with people. This year, we will share their stories and their voices, so that they may be heard around the world.
