2005 Study Tour Participants Testimonials

Ten people visited Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA's development projects in East Timor as a part of the annual Study Tour from the 17th to the 24th of July, 2005. Here is what some of them had to say upon their return.

"The study tour has generated wonderful optimism in me for the future of East Timor - the hope of the people is their strength, the adversity they have already endured is their source of inspiration." - Tim McNevin

"I was impressed by the self-reliance of the East Timorese. Union Aid Abroad really promotes a style of development that focuses on supporting people." - Kate Mills

"What we saw, the people we met and the places we went were sometimes confronting, but that is why we were there: to see the good, the bad, the poverty, and the possibilities. The trip reinforced the concept of capacity building as the only real lasting way to assist developing countries." - Shane McArdle

"After visiting the community youth radio Lorico Lian in Dili and checking out their request play list of only 10 CDs it was easy to think of my next project." - Cate Davey
