“I arrived in
mid-April for my university internship for cultural management and found
myself
in the middle of the recent crisis. My experience as a volunteer in
Arte Moris though
was absolutely great. It was not easy every day but it
was full of surprises. I learnt more
than I expected and I finally found
my place in this environment. Now I see Arte Moris both
as a wonderful
place to learn and as a great family . I cannot imagine not to be in
touch with anymore. Arte Moris is definitely part of my life.” |

My experience with
Arte Moris is powerful and wonderful. Throughout my stay in
East Timor
I have experienced such an enriching and powerful understanding of
the way the East Timorese see art. The kids I teach are smart, funny
and very, very talented. I love teaching and I like it even more
because of my students, I couldn’t ask for a better experience. I
just don’t want to ever leave Arte Moris, neither should you. (countessolivia@hotmail.com) |

“I spent two
months at Arte Moris teaching English and Portuguese. Everyone was really
friendly and the classes were informal which gave me a good chance to find
out more about the culture and history of
East Timor. The project is also
well respected in the local community so not only did I always feel safe
there but I felt that my time was never wasted. It is also such a lively,
crazy and creative place and I had a lot of fun going to the beach with
the guys, watching them drum and joining in some of the art workshops.” |

Zürich (AMZH)
representative, Switzerland.

“There is no place
like Arte Moris. I fell in love with the country in 2004 and I keep coming
back. I teach English when I’m there and find many other ways to
contribute to the project. I also had the director Iliwatu and Tony, one
of the students, sharing my apartment back in Switzerland for a month when
we were organizing two exhibitions. In my visit in 2006 I was really
impressed with how the students handled the IDP crisis. We need people who
genuinely want to help the students and have skills to offer. For sure,
it’s not a holiday camp but all the hard work is worth it. |
