Timor Leste
A reception at the Irish Embassy in Timor Leste on 19th November 2010 offered Timorese with an Irish connection the chance to meet - and take early steps toward establishing an alumni chapter.
The gathering brought together former Irish Aid Study Fellows and other Timorese who had studied in Ireland, along with prospective fellowship students and members of the country’s Irish community.
A similar event is planned for November 2011. Please contact the embassy for further information.
