Timor-Leste Summary
In 2010, Air Timor embarked on a project with Gone Adventurin’ with the vision to leverage an international sporting event in Timor-Leste into a platform to create sustainable social impact in the country. Air Timor has a defined strategy to become Timor-Leste’s international and domestic airline and wanted to contribute to the development of tourism in the country by supporting projects which enable preservation and promotion of Timor-Leste’s textile art and translate these projects into a means to improve rural living standards.
The Results
Spinning Dreams Timor-Leste enabled Air Timor to authentically share its brand values and sustainability objectives both in Singapore as well as internationally in other indirect target markets such as Australia. The film premiered in Singapore at the National Library and created online and traditional print media impressions in leading Australian news channels such as The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, Brisbane Times and Outdoor Edge.
The newsworthiness of the content enabled S$0 spend on media buying. The events and media content raised critical awareness and more than S$30,000 for Timor Aid and enabled the charity to get more resources for its Working With Weavers program in rural Timor-Leste.
This adventure was life-changing – challenging, heart-wrenching and exciting, all at the same time. The spirit of Timor-Leste was so inspirational.
Getting away from my desk job for a week and taking on this adventure challenge of the toughest mountain bike race in the world in support of Timor Aid has been the most amazing experience of my life!Yasmine Khater, Adventure Participant
