Feto estraordináriu na'in-rua ne'e hakuak ai-hun ida ne'ebé kuda liuhosi projetu HoMusanIda iha tinan sanulu-resin-neen liubá.

Sira nia avó sira iha fiar katak restaurasaun la'ós de'it kona-ba kuda ai-hun sira. Ida-ne'e kona-ba hafoun relasaun sira entre ema no rai, entre pasadu no futuru, entre responsabilidade no esperansa.

These two remarkable women embrace a tree planted through the WithOneSeed project some sixteen years ago.

When that tree was planted, they were children. The forest that surrounded them had largely disappeared, but not the vision of their community. Their elders carried a belief that restoration was not simply about planting trees. It was about renewing relationships - between people and land, between past and future, between responsibility and hope.

They grew up alongside this tree. They learned from those who came before them. They witnessed thousands of small acts of care repeated over years and decades.

Together, their community imagined a forest where there was once absence, and then patiently brought that vision into being.

This is why WithOneSeed and Rai Matak cannot be measured by the lifespan of a donor project or funding cycle. Their true timeline is generational. The initiatives asks us to think beyond ourselves, to invest in outcomes we may never fully see, and to trust that those who follow will continue the journey.

A tree is often described as a symbol of hope. But perhaps it is something deeper. A tree is a conversation between generations. It is a promise made by one generation and fulfilled by the next.

Standing beside this tree today, these women embody that promise. And somehow, that says everything.

University of Queensland visits Baguia!

Last week, we're hosting a 1.5-day visit from the University of Queensland! 🇦🇺

We're diving into discussions on energy and hearing from our amazing farmers about their experiences with the WithOneSeed Program.

A highlight of the visit is our team showcasing our innovative TreeO2 app, used for tree counting 🌱 and monitoring.

Some of our visitors are also getting a taste of our local culture with a trek to mountain Rufaguia ⛰️ and visits to communities, learning about traditional practices like badu kuana and soru tais.

Thank You University of Queensland, for your interest in our work! 🙏
Thank You to Timor Unearth for organising.
