Even after the United Nations had come to East Timor, Sister Lourdes’ work with the militia and the refugees was not complete. Thousands of East Timorese were still being held by militia in camps in Indonesian-held West Timor and so, in the spring of 2001, Sister Lourdes went there to try to persuade refugees to return home. She went also to help meet their basic physical needs and give them spiritual support.
