I am married and my wife is also from this village (Tasi Fatin). I have 4 children, the oldest is 9 years old, the youngest is a baby.
The thing that I like about this place is that everything grows in abundance. Coffee grows really well. I want to be able to sell my coffee in Dili but there is no transportation. The roads are very bad.
For the future I want better roads and a car to make business.
In the wet season we must walk to Somoro, it is a 4 hour walk.
When asked: What do sick people do when they need to see a doctor? Domingos answered ‘If they are too sick to walk they must wait here to die. Many do die. One person died about 2 weeks ago. ‘ I asked do many babies die, he answered ‘Some do but not many’.
What do you want most for your village? I want to help progress the village, I want a chapel, a clinic and a better school.
When I asked about the Australian groups coming to Tasi Fatin he said. ‘I am very happy with Ms Tamara’s group coming to our village because they help us and support us. I don’t want other people coming, they do not help.
