He pointed out that education indeed is not
simply a knowing of facts but more so of applying learnings in the real world.
With this, he reiterated the need to create learning opportunities especially
for the youth of Timor-Leste to make a difference and help in building a better
and stronger Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste.
With that in mind, Mr. Papay announced the
building of new classrooms to cater to the needs of the growing Maharlikan
population. Better school facilities were also discussed to enhance the
learning of students. In addition, hiring of teachers is also ongoing to
prepare the institution for the said program.
The parents were supportive toward these ideas and they commended such progressive thinking of the Founder and Executive Director. The dialogue created a wonderful exchange of ideas between the two parties.
