Antonio Lisboa, this more than a big donation, this is a poor follower of Jesuchrist giving half of his lunch and water to people in distress that he found in his way to the life for ever with the Father, but in other way in the judeochristian philosofy that support the international relation in United Nation, this foreing policy of East Timor is again the logic of the regular geopolitic about donation to the poor country. We wait for rich countries always... Non alinnee countires movement must think about what could happen around the world if every poor country have the the same policy with a poor nation in distress, for any reason, following together the example of East Timor with Cuba. Christ never ask to the followers in distress something before helpt them like the humanitarian doctor never ask for any condition to safe the life of a patient...I have a deeply filling of love to the people of East Timor because they are in top of the dignity of human being in the international community, I think at this time.Gualterio, a cuban writer and journalist living in Sarasota, Florida, USA.
