Hey good people. Still having fun training in Timor Leste and couldn’t resist sharing a few more happy snaps.

It was a little Hazy this morning as I arrived at the Mercy Corps Office and get ready to head off of to the training venue at Tibar.

I think this guy had some help tying all this stuff onto his motorbike. He moved through the traffic effortlessly. It was amazing to watch.

Facilitating a discussion on the technical support requirements.

Time for Morning tea at the Cafeteria. The hospitality students and staff serve meals up to all the staff and students at CNEFP.

Including some interesting variations like these popcorn and sweet coconut slice goodies 🙂

Meanwhile the director of the Facility shows his versatility around the campus. He says it keeps him fit and focused when he is back in the office. It must work because he is a powerhouse of energy and drive.

  Lucky he missed these PV systems set up for display and training purposes

Deep in discussion during the afternoon session

Sadly, all good thing must come to an end. Time for one last photo with the Government Electricity Department staff and one of our teachers and the translator as they wrap up their last day. It’s back to work for them while the teachers and I continue our training Tomorrow.

I’m in Timor Leste once a gain completing the last few days on the Mercy Corps training program at the vocational training centre, CNEFP at Timor about 30 minutes west of Dili. I’ve posted a story on CNEFP in the past here.

This is the final phase of the contract this week. Next week I am doing some volunteer work for the ATA before returning home for a while. I must admit, I’m not looking forward to the wild and freezing weather in Melbourne at the moment.

Anyway, I thought I would share a few rag-tag happy snaps of Today’s activities with you.

On the way to Tibar. They have finished the main fountain near the entrance to the airport. Very imposing!

How could I pass up the opportunity to show you St Michael’s 🙂

Through the main gate at CNEFP

and into the staff room to say “Hi” to the mix of office staff and teachers

Discussing the final detail of the box construction for some of our test gear

busy assembling the variable load

The board going through it’s testing before being used for some equipment testing

On our way home again

Along with everybody else including mum, dad and the baby.

I hope you have enjoyed the happy snaps. I will have a few more, no doubt, over the next two weeks including a few from the districts where we will be installing some systems in a school and some houses 🙂
