Terrace Timor Network

The Terrace Timor Network is an organisation connecting the people of Timor with the people of St Joseph's College Gregory Terrace.

Terrace Timor Network (TTN) was formed in 2006 by a group of parents whose sons had been involved in the Terrace Year 10 East Timor Immersions of 2004 and 2005. The experience of travelling in Timor Leste, meeting the people and seeing the enormous day to day challenges they faced, had a profound impact not only on them, but also on their families. Programmes and projects are undertaken at the com

munity level in partnership with the men, women and children of rural communities in the mountains beyond Dili. Initiatives are chosen that will make a real difference to the people as they seek to build futures of hope and opportunity for their families. We are committed to supporting the people of Timor Leste on their continuing journey of economic development and long term independence. Working in partnership with The Edmund Rice Foundation in Timor-Leste, TTN supports a range of special projects and initiatives in the key sectors of health, education and sustainable economic development.

The TTN 20 year anniversary trip rolls on and has been a tremendous success so far. Along with our partners at the Edmund Rice foundation we have reconnected with our projects in:
Railaco Craic - Vanilla Beans of Hope, and the Community Cooperative CCU BEHAFU (a new initiative incorporating the “card ladies”)
Terasu - Community Trades Training Center

We have had numerous exciting conversations building on the recent community engagement surveys conducted for ERF by Timor Unearthed. There is a strong desire in the communities for our continued support as the needs are still profound.

We caught up with old friends who we have worked with for decades including Norberto Beto, Flori Fatima, Ludi Fatima Alves, and many of the wonderful card ladies.

We also met the soon to be appointed country manager for ERF who is a passionate and experienced development leader. This will be a game changer for working with the local communities to ensure project meet community needs and get done.

The communities are also looking forward to the Terrace immersion group visiting next week. Look for a more thorough update in the coming weeks!

After ten years away it’s great to be back in Timor Leste on the TTN 20th anniversary tour with Timor Unearthed. Can wait to reconnect with all our friends in this beautiful place over the next 10 days.

In the latest TTN newsletter, we called out for any stories or photos which could be useful to our team working on a TTN 20 year anniversary book. We soon received some great photos generoulsy shared one of the early members of "Brother Dan's Crew" who visited Timor in 2009. These were the early days of TTN and twenty years on, the passion and drive to change lives continues. If you have photos or stories to tell, please post here or PM the TTN page. Thanks Chris for sharing!
