At the moment Peggy is helping some of the people who are hit by the flood which are affecting some 11 villages in Kupang area. It has been heavy rain for few days non stop. Indeed we are having the luxury of sharing our surplus rice that we have grown and harvested our self for the last two harvests. God has made us capable to do so and its a privilege indeed. Some of the clothes that we brought in also finding the ultimate receivers who are really in the need of them. Praise The Lord for giving us the chance to distribute not only some rice but also clothing.

We are in the process of making the shelter for our new generator at the home stay area. Praise The Lord that we got the replacement by the Grace that was sent via the SIA network means( the staff idea scheme as what I have written in the previous entry).Another happy day will be coming when we are getting our new generator.

We are in the process of getting our special visit by some of Rotary Club friends in Australia. We are hoping that we can actually conduct the” train the trainers” program soon. we are hoping that we can later on we will be able to do more for the public through the orphanage and its facilities soon. It will be a great day for all of us if the program can be conducted as planned.

It has been heavy rain in Kupang and as I mentioned earlier that there are 11 villages under the water since 2 days ago. We are having the blessings that our farm is not effected ( even though very near to the effected area). If nothing go wrong we will have another rice harvest in April . In March we will have some corn, peanut and green beans harvest. Indeed another means another blessings.

SOME OF THE LOCAL MATTERS

This is the local musical instrument in Timor . It is called as SASANDO .

With this musical instrument we can sing any song and any tunes if you are good at it. We are planning to buy at least two of them and will ask the children to start learning how to play it. With this effort I am hoping that their local culture will be able to be preserved in the future.

Beside the musical instrument Timor is having so many different kind of cloth which are made differently both the designs and materials. It is a long time kind of work to make just one cloth. For example it can be done in 3 months or more just to make a piece of cloth. Different village means different designs , different region or different province means different design. So by looking at their locally made cloth or dress we can also understand from which part of this province a particular person is coming from. We are also planning to buy at least two wooden manually made cloth machines too for the same reason , that is to preserve their local culture’s values.

The following video was taken on July 17th 2006 during Prime Time News program . The interview was conducted by miss Susan Jung and Mr Steven . Due to its size we will break it into 3 parts. It was taken without any preparation or knowing the questions before hand. The talks were more to the orphanage work but the pictures were showing more about the big earth quake at Jogja. It was the time that made us not being able to show more pictures about the orphanage . to know better about the orphanage’s work , please visit our old blog from www.roslinorphanage.org . It was becaus eof the hard work and sleepless night of “drt” we can finally up loaded this video.
