........Remexico SMP School
Domingos da Costa Mesquita, the headmaster, wrote in his letter that, " I present news from East Timor that Indonesia didn't just leave East Timor, they burned all the buildings of East Timor." This was immediately clear when it was visited. Many of the school buildings were destroyed and the school is quite isolated and while it may have new ceilings being built, it still lacks any chairs and only has three classrooms for 150 students. There are 12 teachers, but most lack experience. Their only contact with foreigners in their area has mostly been with the UN Civilian Police office, but none of those civpols speak Tetum, Indonesian or Portuguese so there's very little communication between them.
