About volunteering with VSA

Our Partner Organisation - Instituto Católica Para a Formação de Professores (ICFP)
In 1999 the Marist Brothers decided to undertake a new missionary/outreach project. The circumstances of East Timor were in the news at the time, and they decided to send two Brothers to see if and how we could help the country. Education is the field of activity. A summary of the history/origins of institute are in Annex 1 and it gives a good idea of how the organisation grew from that beginning.
The overall goal of the project is to sustainably raise the quality of education provided in the schools of Timor-Leste through appropriate training of teachers and the introduction of new curriculum and teaching methods.
ICFP provides pre-service teacher formation to post-secondary Timorese. Our students are drawn from all districts of the country.
ICFP focuses on a student-centred learning approach to teaching in which
students are always treated with utmost respect.
