* The formation of this network grows
from the recognition of the critical role of education in the process
of
East Timorese democratization and has been sparked by an exchange
between
Brazil and East Timor.
* Popular education as practice is not
new to East Timor. In fact, the 1975 generation was inspired by the
methods
of Paolo Freire and popular education was carried out in the form of
literacy
classes, cooperatives, crèches (day schools), development of
traditional
remedies and other social activities which the Indonesian invasion
stopped
and destroyed.
* Political independence has been
achieved,
but has not yet guaranteed the same learning opportunities to all
people.
The majority of the population was marginalized during Indonesia’s
occupation
and during this transitional period, there has not yet been significant
change. The formal education that now exists is a legacy of the
Portuguese
and Indonesian systems and does not include liberating principles. The
goal of popular education is to empower all people to be able to
participate
in decision making processes. Popular education is a collective act,
not
an individual one.

FRETILIN
- Revolutionary Front for an Independent East Timor / Frente
Revolucionária
do Timor Leste Independente Added Sep 3,
2001
BD interviews Gil Santos:
When did Fretilin start and what was
its purpose?
On 20 May 1974, Fretilin formed under
the name ASDT. In Sep 1974 it changed its name to Fretilin. The purpose
was to pursue full independence for East Timor. Fretilin was, and still
is, opposed to any foreign occupation, colonisation or imperialism.
Fretilin
had a campaign at the grassroots level and currently has over 180,000
active
members (militants). Fretilin developed policies on education, women's
rights, worker's rights, children's rights, health and hygeine, the
environment.
What are some of Fretilin's historical
achievements?
Fretilin was a champion of organising
effective resistance against Indonesian invasion on three important
fronts:
1) military front (FALINTIL); 2)
cladestine
front (underground); 3) diplomacy front.
This led to the existance of:
* the CRRN (National Council of
Revolutionary
Resistance), then
* the CNRM (the National Council of
Maubere
Resistance / Concelho Nacional da Resistancia Maubere), and finally
* the CNRT
(National Council of Timorese Resistance / Conselho Nacional de
Resistência
Timorense) which formed in order to achieve national unity.
What does Fretilin aim to achieve in
the future?
* to establish a democratic government
of national unity in order to promote re-construction;
* to re-establish the policies that
benefit
the grassroots with an emphasis on sustainable development and
environmental
awareness;
* to organise and hold another Congress
in May 2001 to develop its political program, and plan its election
strategies;
* to campaign for the up-coming elections
on August 30, 2001.
Main office: Rua Martires da
Patria,
West Dili, Timor Lorosa'e, in the former Pancasila Training Building
BP7.
As a result, Fretilin is sometimes referred to as BP7 Fretilin.

Dili, Liquisa, Maliana, Suai
Director: Manuela
Leong Pereira; Staff: five staff and many volunteers
Fokupers is a registered East
Timorese non-government organization (ETNGO)
General Mission: Fokupers was
founded
in 1997. It focuses on political victims and gives counselling and
other
forms of assistance to women victims of violations, including ex
political
prisoners, war widows and wives of political prisoners. Its mandate
also
includes promoting women’s human rights among the local population,
especially
the East Timorese women.
Historic Achievement: Fokupers,
along with other women's organizations, organized the first-ever
women's
conference in East Timor on November 9 and 10, 1998, and then held a
seminar
and demonstration in Dili on November 25, 1998, on the international
day
against violence against women.
Current Activities: * Conducting
workshops discussing ways to enhance or develop further women’s
participation
in Timorese society. * Focusing on receiving trauma counselling
training
for their staff in order to provide counsel to women victims. *

women survivors of violence and to end violence against women through
advocacy
and education. * Community-based local groups in different areas of the
country. * Publishing materials.
Goal: To set up a trauma centre
for East Timorese women who need assistance with rehabilitation. Before
its offices were destroyed
by the Indonesian military and militia in September, 1999, Fokupers
was moving away from needing outside help by raising its own funding
through
sales of books and crafts made by East Timorese women.

(SIL) Up-dated Jun 14, 2001
Research and Publications, Education and

SIL is a registered East
Timorese non-government organization (ETNGO)
General Mission: To support the
active participation of the East Timorese community in the process of
developing
a ‘Nation State’ through the dissemination of information and
discussions
or seminars.
Short History: SIL is the
transformation
of a study group called Sa’he Study Club (SSC) formed by East Timorese
student activists and Indonesian pro-democracy activists in 1998 in
Jakarta,
Indonesia.
Longer History:
* The name is in honor of Vicenti Sa’he,
a young East Timorese revolutionary fighter who implemented the idea of
popular cooperatives and a literacy program inspired by the Paulo
Freire’s
method. Sa’he was killed by Indonesian military shortly after they
invaded
East Timor in 1975. SSC is aimed at revitalizing the concept of
national
liberation among the people of East Timor in the tradition of Sa’he and
other martyrs who fought for independence in the 1970s.
* So far, SSC has published books about
Amilcar Cabral, Samora Machel, the East Timorese political party
Fretilin,
and the East Timorese poet Francisco Borja da Costa. Prior to the
ballot,
SSC published a critical analysis of Indonesia’s autonomy offer and
distributed
it as a pamphlet throughout East Timor. The pro-Indonesia newspaper,
Suara
Timor Timur, devoted 22 straight days of its editorial page to a
refutation
of our pamphlet.
* SSC has held weekly seminars since
forming,
first in Jakarta and then in Dili, until being forced to leave in early
September. After the referendum, SSC was reformed and became an
institute
known as Sahe Institute for Liberation (SIL). Since then, we have
published
a pamphlet critiquing the World Bank and have coordinated youth
projects
in community education and organizing.
Current situation and primary needs:
At the moment, SIL is carrying out NGO work primarily in the field of
research
and publication. SIL needs an office building and funding to carry out
its activities.
Current Activities: 1. Publication
of bulletins and books 2. Discussion groups and workshops 3. Research
Plans: All the above activities,
which will be our primary focus for the coming year.

Dewan Solidaritas Mahasiswa Timor Timur -
East
Timorese Student Solidarity Council (ETSSC) Added Mar 8,
2001
Sejarah Pendek:
ETSSC didirikan pada bulan Juni 1998,
sesudah Suharto turun dari posisinya. Mahasiswa-mahasiswa mengadakan
beberapa
pertemuan umum, demonstrasi dan dialog, asalnya di Dili dan kemudian di
seluruh Timor Loro Sa’e. Sebelum referendum, informasi HAM disebarkan
oleh
mahasiswa ini, dan mereka menjadi terlibat dalam pendidikan pemberi
suara.
ETSSC termasuk mahasiswa yang sebelumnya duduk di UNTIM, bersama dengan
pelajar dan sarjana.
Keadaan Sekarang Lsm Dan Kebutuhan
Utama:
ETSSC terletak di Dili, dan ada jaringan
yang kuat di seluruh Timor Loro Sa’e. Hubungan di antara cabang-cabang
ETSSC (misalnya di antara Baucau dan Dili) memang tak mungkin pada saat
ini, karena ETSSC di luar Dili tak ada telepon mobil, dan garis telepon
tanah belum didirikan lagi. Peralatan kantor juga diperlukan (misalnya
fax, komputer dll).
Kegiatan Sekarang:
ETSSC di Dili sudah menulis usulan proyek,
judulnya ‘Framework 2000’. Usulan ini termasuk benkel ‘capacity
building’
dan kelompok pelajaran masyarakat. Di Baucau dan Viqueque, mahasiswa
terlibat
dalam membangun kembali SMP dan SMA, dan juga bekerja sebagai guru di
SD.
Rencana:
Dua anggota ETSSC akan mengunjungi kota
Melbourne pada bulan Februari/Maret (berhubungan dengan USET untuk
perincian
lain). Kemungkinannya bahwa ETSSC akan mendirikan koperasi persahabatan
dengan universitas Australia. Salah satu prioritas ETSSC ialah
kesempatan
untuk menyelesaikan kursusnya yang sudah dimulai di Universitas
Indonesia,
UNTIM atau tempat lain.

-
East
Timorese Student Solidarity Council (ETSSC) Added Mar

Civil Society, Culture, Informal Education.
ETSSC is a registered East
Timorese non-government organization (ETNGO)
Short History:
ETSSC emerged in June 1998 responding
to the window of opportunity for a free East Timor following Suharto’s
resignation. Prior to this new period of freedom of speech, students
had
been organising clandestinely as part of the wider resistance movement.
The students organised a series of public meetings, demonstrations and
dialogues, originally in Dili and later spreading throughout East
Timor.
During the lead up to the referendum, the students disseminated
information
on human rights, and were involved in voter education in all regions of
East Timor. The Council includes students who previously attended
UNTIM,
as well as high school students and academics.
Current Situation And Three Primary
Needs:
The ETSSC is based in Dili, but has a
strong network throughout East Timor. Communication between branches of
the ETSSC (eg between Baucau and Dili) is currently impossible, as
branches
outside Dili have no access to mobile phones, and land-lines have yet
to
be re-established. General office facilities (such as computer, fax
equipment)
are desperately needed.
Current Activities:
The Dili ETSSC have put together a project
proposal entitled ‘Framework 2000’ which provides for capacity building
workshops and Community Study Groups. In Baucau and Viqueque the
students
are involved in rebuilding secondary schools. Members are currently
involved
in various community activities including teaching in primary schools.
Plans:
Two members of the ETSSC will be visiting
Melbourne in Feb/March (contact USET for details). Possible friendship
unions with Australian universities are being pursued. The ability for
ETSSC members to complete university courses begun in Indonesia, UNTIM
or elsewhere is a priority.

Kegiatan Sekarang: Mendata korban
kekerasan dan memberi pertolongan seperti perawatan medis dan
mendampingi
korban memberikan kesaksian di depan komisi HAM PBB. Selebihnya belum

women’s magazines.
Current situation and primary needs:

data and so on. We are surviving only on enthusiasm. Our primary needs
are: 1. An office/place of work 2. Vehicles 3. Office equipment
Current Activities: Collecting
data from victims of violence and offering assistance, such as medical
nursing. Also, assisting victims in giving evidence before the UN
Commission
on Human Rights. Beyond this we are constrained by operational
difficulties.
Plans: To begin immediate work
on the ground, as so many women who are victims of violence need urgent
help and to immediately seek solutions for the victims.

As an East Timorese women's organisation OPMT has been dealing with the
impact of Indonesian rule that has dominated their lives for the past
25
years culminating in the violence around the UN sponsored Popular
Consultations
in 1999. It is these women who have been dealing with those who have
been
severely psychologically and/or physically traumatised. They have been
helping address the needs of women who are the main carers of children
(many of whom are orphans), the injured, sick and the elderly.
Current situation and primary needs:
OPMT emerged from their clandestine existence at the FRETILIN
Conference
in Dili in May 2000. OPMT's current needs include the general need for
social action such as giving assistance to those who need it.

(periodic). Also: OPMT
Sewing Program in Timor Loro Sa'e & OPMT

activities in three districts. OPMT has a vision for how the new
