Thanks to all those who attended our $$Fundraiser$$.

Quin nervously touches the scar on his forehead when he remembers the five days he was held prisoner by the military in Indonesia.

"In 1994, East Timorese student Quintiliano Neto Mok, presented himself to the Indonesian military to speak on behalf of a group of 35 students who had been captured. As a result, he was interrogated and tortured for five days. "The group had been protesting against the Indonesian government in Jakarta..." (Catholic Weekly, 8/6/97).

Quin is a 29 year old East Timorese student who has suffered great torture under the Indonesian military. Now he is in Australia, still working for the freedom of East Timor. His efforts in trying to promote Australian solidarity with East Timor have taken him all over NSW.

Quin has a wish for the near future - to represent the Catholic youth of East Timor (a rapidly growing number) at the World Youth Conference being held from the 18th - 25th August in Paris. East Timor as yet does not have representative for the World Youth Day. However, Quin's only setback is lack of funding.

Veritas Normanhurst Young Adults Group supported Quin in his quest by holding a BBQ Day on Sunday 27th July. Special guests on the day were Quintiliano himself and Sr Susan Connelly who gave a talk on the current situation in East Timor. The BBQ was straight after 9.3Oam Mass from 10.3Oam until 2.3Opm or thereafter. Cost was $5.00.
