ICFJ staffer Paulo Amaral and TOT Basilio “JoJo” da Costa traveled to Atauro Island in May to train high school students how to create wall newspapers. Ferry service is temporarily suspended, so Paulo and JoJo had to find another way to get there. The ferry ride normally takes about two hours, their trip in a small motorized fishing boat took about three hours. The boat is about three meters long and one meter wide.
Amazingly, neither of them got seasick, but both were extremely pleased when the boat docked at Atauro.
Below is Paulo’s account of their adventure.

The old antenna atop the radio tower at Radio Akademika at National University had to be replaced the other day. The problem was – no one wanted to climb the skinny 25 meter high tower. ICFJ staffer Fernando da Silva, who is kind of a big guy, got half way up before the tower began to sway – he figured it was time to climb back down.
