Voice: Interview with CIS Timor

Cis Timor believes in the power of dreaming and hard work to change the face of Timor Island. The dream of Timor’s face inspiring the creation of a better world. This dream becomes a personal call from every volunteer and organisational board member to join the inspirational sharing circle to make it happen. This idea is born out of commitment of every person who dreams of Timor as heaven: a place everyone longs for, where all are comfortable working his land, everyone is eager to make it beautiful.

In Timor dreams later on, the truth is visible, the justice becomes whole, welfare comes to life, peace becomes a culture and everyone desires to be part of the vibrant spirit of world change from Timor.Here are five steps to change the dream of Timor :

1. Timor Healthy; Focus on encouraging Governments and Communities to access Suitable Water and Sanitation.
2. Timor Resiliance; Communities, Government and CSOs are aware of the disaster threats and understand the actions to be taken before and after disasters.
3. Timor Prosperous; Building the independence of the village community from resources and funds. Communities have strong access to village planning and budgeting.
4. Timor Equivalent; All Households understand equality and replace patriarchal culturewith equivalent culture. No more violence against women.
5. Timor Peace; Become the center of Peace learning with peace-building work.
