To who it may concern, I am a 20 year old Australian student from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, who has been working as a volunteer for the past 9 months in Israel. I spent five months studying at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and working as a volunteer English tutor for teenaged Beduins. For the last four months I have been volunteering as an activities co-ordinator with the Israeli Defence Force for 60 South Lebanese Army child refugees, temporarily located in Tzfat, Israel. In the coming months I will be working on a secular kibbutz (Bar'am) and am hoping to become a volunteer in the Desheihe Refugee camp in Gaza for a a number of months. Upon my return home to Australia I will be working with the Brotherhood of StVicent's dePaul, for Afghanistani refugees released from the Woomera Detention Center and studying for a transfer to the social work faculty at Melbourne University (Social Work degrees at Melbourne University are only available to mature age students, or students who have completed at least one year of an Arts Degree). I was wondering if there are any volunteer placements for a short period of time, such as university vacation periods, in East Timor? I would be able to fund my own expenses, and I believe I have some experience that would help me in working to rebuild the country. Please contact me regarding any volunteer placements or projects that may be available in East Timor. Thank you for your time and consideration.
