Roslin Vision: This site is dedicated to the beautiful children of East & West Timor who have suffered so much in recent years due to war, displacement and socio-economic hardship. It is our quest to provide a loving environment to orphaned children so they may have the opportunity to blossom and give their laughter and talents to the world. It is also our Endeavour to assist in developing the local infrastructure, which has struggled to carry the weight of integrating the influx of displaced persons, to bring the dream of creating a prosperous community, where everyone has access to basic health and education, a little closer.

The children, so many of whom are bright but living in desperate conditions, are Timor's future, so we believe that with sufficient support there will be a star shining over them illuminating their path and blessing them with the opportunity to build the foundations of a brighter tomorrow, now.

The commitment of Peggy and Budi to the Panti Asuhan (orphanage), which they have funded entirely on their own, together with their efforts to realize the vision to elevate educational/health standards, is so inspiring and deserves our gratitude, praise and support.

I hope you enjoy the site, still in preliminary stages, and we look forward to your comments and very much welcome your suggestions on how to improve the lives of the beloved children of West & east Timor.

Our Orphanage

Our orphanage is a place where we want to do our best to look after the children from young into an early adult life .
A place that will make the children to be able to study in schools , to be educated and to make them to be able to help their own people or home town after they are finished with their studies and after they can stand on their own.
A place where we will try our best to teach the orphans to do their best for their better future will be.

When they are doing well in school , we will try our best send them to the highest education possible within our ability.
After the orphans are finished with their schooling , they can go and explore the possibility in live on their own.

The orphans do not owe the orphanage or us anything for what we have done for them

Real adoption is never been in our mind .
We are doing it because of humanity and love for the less fortunate.
Our intention has been to help the people with our best gift which is education.
An adoption scheme for helping the children's education is always welcome and highly expected.


Nothing is impossible and with your help things can be done easier and better.

We have no plan at all to build an orphanage in Timor.
But as our trips to the refugee's camp, we saw so much and so many poverty along the road. To help out others is not necessary to be some one you know or your own people. We are thinking that we should help out others who need help, no matter who they are. We will spoil the word help if you are choosing to whom we should help. Based on the facts that we were seeing, we decided to build one orphanage in Timor Island.

The reason we went to help out the East Timor refugees:

We were having our dinner together in Singapore then suddenly the television was showing a report about the East Timor refugees.
It was a very bad seen that we watched and my wife and I were thinking about how can anyone able to help or to ease their burden in life?
Both of us were praying that night then we were start talking about them.
I told my wife that my leave is coming in 40 days time and what about if we pay them a visit.

That night I started to make an email to my friends and letting them know about my plan and the trip to the refugee's camp. I finished writing the e mail at 05:00 AM (from 23:00 PM).

The first respond was at 06:00 AM and this friend was willing to give me 2000 USD to support the planned trip (an Indonesian Chinese who is now living in Australia). We did manage collecting use clothing, toys, food supplement, baby's equipment, shoes, blankets etc. A total of about one ton of goods were collected in Singapore then the new problem was rising.
How can we bring them across to Timor?
We tried to calculate how much money will be needed just to bring the goods across by plane and by ship. Out of the blue a friend suggested me to contact a person who is in charge as a station manager of Singapore Airlines. Singapore Airlines is a very good company with its cost management.
How in the world we can ask for help (a very big favor) to bring the goods across at a reduced tariff

. With God's blessings things are possible, we did not only have a reduced tariff but we were given 100% free to send them across to Jakarta.
From Jakarta we did buy a lot more goods like soap, tooth paste, candies, eggs, instant noodle, snacks, baby milk powder, medicines for external use, green beans, sugar and a lot more.

As we did the buying spree, we started again to think how we can bring them to the refugee's camp locations. Another friend reminded us that his brother is the second man on shipping company (passengers and cargo). We did contact him and another miracle as given to us.
He did not talk much nor asked us many questions about what we were doing. He just asked us how much cargo is required to be transported.
I said about 6 tons from Jakarta then he told us that he will make sure that at least we will be given 10 tons of free cargo. From Jakarta to Timor is about 1500 miles.
