Presidential meeting

While Jose Ramos Horta was in Australia for the Premiere of Robert Connelly’s powerful film Balibo, he took time out to meet with the Change the World team in Sydney.

The interview was organised by former Miss Australia, Caroline Pemberton, who is an Ambassador for CTW.

As a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, the East Timorese President had plenty to say about peace and alleviating poverty.

He is obviously keen to see a Change the World project based in East Timor.

He commended us for what we are doing and said he was glad to see us enabling everyday people to make a difference.

While the CTW team was in Sydney they met with YouTube, MySpace and Greenpeace with exciting results.

It has been a long road in these tough economic times, however because of the commitment and generosity of many many people we are now ready to take the next big step. Stay tuned for details.
