The journey of caring for our common home at RJM Kasait, Timor Leste, began with small but consistent steps towards change.
In this newsletter we would like to share these small initiatives that are being taken to make Laudato Si a lived reality, in collaboration with the Jesuit Social Service in Timor Leste and other collaborators.

The Laudato Si Week was observed by Seva Kendra which is the Diocesan social work project for which the Jesus and Mary sisters collaborate with other religious congregations.
For observing the week the field staff mobilised the women group, children group and also people from the community.
The week was observed on three days of the week. Some villages took up plantation of trees. Saplings were provided to them. In some villages, growing a kitchen garden was encouraged. They planted bringal, tomato, chillies and beans. In some other villages, they were given input sessions on global warming and the need to have eco friendly life style.
They
also had cleanliness drive and instructed people of the village to have proper
disposal of wastes material so as to have healthy atmosphere.
