My Trainee Life in Japan (OISCA Trainee: Agostinho Gusmão Amaral)

My name is Agostinho Gusmão Amaral from Covalima, 26 years old. I am attending a training at the OISCA Nishi Nippon Training Center in Fukuoka, Japan since February 2023. I am very happy to have the opportunity to represent Timor-Leste and participate in the agriculture training for one year in Japan together with 8 other trainees from Asia-Pacific.

I learned many things here, especially about modern agriculture. Japan is a developed country which has a significant difference from Timor-Leste in the agricultural sector. I will try hard to study and when I return to Timor-Leste, I will contribute again to my country especially in the agricultural sector.

I would like to call on everyone, especially the youth, to let us all keep trying and learning for the development of our beloved nation, Timor-Leste. Through our contributions, we can provide support for the development of the nation!
