Julie Emery update 2010 : Our trip to Timor in March/April this year was a stark reminder of the dangers of travelling in Malaria infested countries. Both Delphi and I contracted Malaria Vivax within days of arriving in the highlands, where an unseasonably hot wet season had allowed the mosquito’s to proliferate in areas that are normally Malaria free. At least for the last 20 years they had been. I have always taken precautions in the hot dusty inland and steamy coastal areas of West Timor with its high temperatures and constant mosquito’s. But the mountains had always been a sanctuary, a blissful respite with its cool air occasional mists and not having to play dodge the mozzies.

We struggled with the fevers and aches and had a constant challenge to stay upright for long enough trying to find nutritious food with which to build and bolster our systems. With appx. 50% of the population, both in town and throughout the villages, down with this uncommon (for them) disease it brought home to me again the harsh realities of the borderline conditions that many of the people that I work and trade with deal with every day of their lives.

Fortunately for us we met up with Aja Bordeville, a fellow field collector based in Canada and she provided us with much needed support. It was all I could do to give the donations to the Ume Manekan Orphange, distribute clothing, school books and pencils and more pumpkin and other seeds to the farmers then get back to Kupang and out to Bali and back to Australia where we have been building our health and the KAPOK business up.

Despite this there were highlights, a few of which I have shared with you in the above photographs and of course I will return in due course although with Delphi now in year 9 of high school I doubt if she will be able to take the time off to accompany me for much longer.

So ... If there is anything special that you are looking for please contact me as I still have treasures in boxes that are not yet listed to this site and look out for me on eBay as timorgirl. And as always any donations of reading eye glasses, seeds or kind will be gratefully received.

Tem'tok'e!
