I put together this short montage of life in Zumalai.

The median age in Australia is 37. In Timor Leste it is 21. More than one third of the population are under the age of 14. Many of these children have been orphaned by disease and war.

Some of the Children from Zumalai and the surrounding district of Cova Lima on the south coast of Timor Leste.

Last week I got back from the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. Here are some of my traveling companions.

When the locals see us they generally stop and stare. The children wave or squeal or shout 'malae!' or 'malae mutin!'
