As part of the scholarship Teodora will be return to Bei Cala on completion of his degree and give three years teaching at the school. 

Teodora wrote in his application:

After finish off Commerce School I always remember I’ve known what I wanted to do with my life. English teacher has always been a passion of mine. Dedicating my life to improving the lives of others is very appealing to me. After finish off my Commerce School vocational in last four years, I plan on advancing to teacher training program to become a teacher. I believe this program will offer me valuable skills I am really glad to see Grub Club is willing to help me to realize my goal in the future.

Although I plan on practicing teach while I am up to second semester, I believe that

This will be helping community in Bei cala area to promote English language to all young generation; in hence everyone can have better communication with other.

In memory of Sgt Matthew Locke MG, I will ensure to put much effort on study, to make change in the future. 

Teodora will be attending the Universidade Oriental Timor Lorosa’e.

Following our recent committee meeting and AGM a number of decisions have been made on our future projects.

The committee unanimously decided to support the building of a kindergarten and to sponsor a teaching scholarship for a former student. We are incredibly proud to do so and it is thanks to the unprecedented support we have had from the community over the past years.

Our representative in East Timor, Jino Pereria has submitted detailed plans for the kindergarten which will be one room with teachers room and toilet. Plans are included.
