Australian army veteran Shannon French says his work supporting impoverished villages in Timor Leste is helping him heal from the trauma of his military service. Returning to the country after serving as a peace keeper, the veteran is finding that the business of giving back through coffee beans and coconut oil exports is bringing a rewarding return. Praba Maheswaran has the story in Tamil, written by Abby Dinham for SBS News.
