My name is Andrew McTear Smith and I am a VSA volunteer working in
Timor-Leste, which most people know by its previous name of East Timor. My
assignment is working in Information Technology for a counterpart
Non-Government Organisation (NGO) with a series of databases that are designed
to provide Early Warning / Early Response conflict monitoring, and a National Humanitarian
Database that identifies what International and Local Development Projects and
Programs are running within the country. It is hoped that we can create a
consolidated Geo-Spatial portal of this information in order to initiate the
dialogue needed to ensure the Early Response component of the programme.
I will be living here in the community for the next 2 years and hope to capture some thoughts,
insights and emotional reactions to my experiences here in Timor. I am
accompanied by Alofa, my wife, without whom, none of this would be possible
