The TUK TUK Library <\/strong><\/p>\n

Early 2020 the board of management and staff discussed a creative idea to innovate our service to the community, especially to encourage love of reading. And the idea was to transform the TUK TUK motorcycle to become as a mobile library. The TUK TUK was generously donated by Maun Boot Kay Rala Xanana Gusm\u00e3o. This mobile library will be operating very soon in Dili in order to promote love of reading for children in Timor-Leste.<\/p>\n

Second Edition of Alicia\u2019s Diary \/ Alicia nia Di\u00e1riu \/ O Di\u00e1rio de Alicia<\/span><\/b>\"\"
\nIn 2020, we will continue the second edition of \u201cAlicia\u2019s Diary\u201d as it was a very successful book project with funding support from Andrew MacNaughtan Foundation (AMF). The stories were translated and printed in three languages (Tetun, Portuguese and English).<\/p>\n

This first edition of \u201cAlicia\u2019s Diary\u201d was launched on 20 December 2018 by Her Excellency Dulce de Jesus Soares, Minister of Education, youth and sports. We printed total of 800 copies in three languages (375 copies in Tetum, 375 copies in Portuguese, 50 copies in English). Many copies of the books have been distributed to schools with 5th and 6th grade students in Dili and in municipalities. Other copies were distributed to libraries around the nation and to key organizations focused on education, literacy or science.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The book “Alicia\u2019s Diary” contained five fiction short stories written by Curt Gabrielson and image illustration by an artist Moises Pele Pereira. Each story is an entry in the diary, with the foreign girl, Alicia, recounting something that happened to her that day, and detailing some basic information relating to the science and mathematics of daily life, such as health, agriculture, weather and climate, food and nutrition, day-to-day mathematics, etc.<\/p>\n

The book also has been well used by the children at XGRR in our children space called Bebeteca. We also use the book in our community outreach program. The pdf version will make it available online when XGRR has completed the rebuilt website.<\/p>\n
