U.
Curt Gabrielson, partner of Pamela Sexton (of La'o Hamutuk and ETAN) and science teacher from Missouri, received a fellowship from the Institute of Current World Affairs (ICWA) in December 2000. He spent the next two years in East Timor working on science education, as well as observing various aspects of East Timor's reconstruction. The Institute required Curt to write an informative newsletter each month about a topic of his choice. ICWA has created its own website and posted the newsletters there. Click the link here.
