It really nice to hear back from you. Our website and our facebook page have all the information needed for volunteers. bairopiteclinic.org.
1999 was a very scary time because of the extreme gratuitous violence everywhere. Somebody had their hands around my neck squeezing, and then there were 10 timorese clinging to my legs as they were also being attacked by militiamen. I guess you could call that scary.

As I previously mentioned in another response I just dont need a lot. I get a small amount from US government social security and savings, but mostly I just work seeing 200 or so patients a day along with rounds and other duties.

More on the volunteering would be a great, but what would even be better is for someone like you to find your own East Timor. Find something, dedicate yourself and put everything on the line. There so many places around the world that need help. Just go anywhere in th middle east. There is an immense about of work to be done.
Just imagine if you were part of helping people resolve conflinct non-violently.

The clinic runs entirely off donations. We used to get money from the East Timor ministry of health but we havent for a few years.
It costs around USD$70,000 a month to keep the clinic, our mobile clinic, inpatients and everything else running.
We get donations from around the world world. If you can help us by giving 2 bucks a month it would really help us out. just head to www.bairopiteclinic.org/guardians-international/ to help us out.
Because of our experience in ET we are in a great position to develop a health care approach at the village level. All we lack is resources.
