Description
Informal gathering of a Timorese family and villagers in a hut. The baby, held by his grandmother (centre) was delivered with the help of Captain (Capt) Ben Farinazzo, part of the International Force for East Timor (Interfet). The mother (sitting, right) and father (standing, foreground, in white and red t-shirt) named the baby Ben after Capt Farinazzo. There is a "Xanana" poster hanging on the rear wall of the hut and a small cassette player on a small table.
