 Indonesia Action Network\n \nA Luta Continua… The Struggle 
 Continues…\n\nOn May 20th, the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste (East 
 Timor) celebrated its 8th anniversary as a sovereign nation. A survivor of 
 400 years of Portuguese colonial rule and 25 years of an 
 internationally-supported genocide, Timor-Leste is the newest and poorest 
 nation in Asia. It continues to face huge challenges to genuine 
 independence including struggles to defend its rights to offshore oil 
 reserves, to protect itself from the debt trap, and to develop curriculum 
 that is not simply neo-colonial drivel.\n \nCome learn more about current 
 issues in Timor-Leste from two locals—Pam Sexton and Curt 
 Gabrielson—who spent last year in Timor- Leste and will soon return to 
 work with grassroots organizations. Curt will be providing teacher training 
 in hands-on, culturally relevant science and math. Pam will be working with 
 a national women’s organization and a solidarity organization that 
 monitors international players in Timor.\n \nThese are free events 
 co-sponsored by IF and the Pajaro Valley Women’s International League for 
 Peace and Freedom (WILPF).\nTax-deductible donations to support Curt and 
 Pam’s work in Timor-Leste can be made out to IF (write “Timor-Leste” 
 on check memo line.)\n \nFor more info, check with me, call Pam at 
 831-724-8051, or email Barbara at barbara@greybird.com.\n
