From Little Things Big Things Grow: East Timor

Inspired by the well-known Australian song ‘From Little Things Big Things Grow’ by Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly, the class 5 and 6 children of the Edmund Rice Primary School in Deleco, East Timor, have retold the story of their school growing from small beginnings, with problems along the way, to big things in a small mountain village. Despite the history of invasion, poverty and struggle still felt by most of the Timorese population, the children at Deleco Primary show a great love and devotion to their country and have much hope for the future.
