Those who have been to Dili will know Acasio, who was our driver around Dili and took us to and from the airport. Unfortunately, Acasio passed away on Monday 25th of March. He had a kidney operation in the previous week, was apparently recovering, and then suddenly deteriorated.
He will be missed. His smiling face and driving around Dili will be remembered.
