In 2007 CWS has operational Offices in Indonesia, East Timor,
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam and these
offices are in the process of shifting resources (staff,

focus, which will come into effect in a step by step manner.
One recent step in that direction has been the setting up of a
