The focus of JRS’s work in East Timor is a direct contact and service to the displaced people, especially through accompaniment (being with/presence), since most of the basic necessities are already being provided by other agencies. This includes building of the camp community, especially the camp managers of the displaced people, providing support to the local Catholic Church/religious communities hosting Internally Displaced People (IDP), and increasing awareness of the concerns/rights of the displaced people among the relevant Catholic Church/religious communities and other agencies for appropriate action. Regular visits to the camps has been an integral part of accompaniment – being with them and listening to them – as well as monitoring the distribution of logistics, tents and other assistance provided for the IDP. The visits have initiated and nurtured communication together in the search for a durable solution for the displaced people either to return or to be relocated.
