Timor-Leste Exhibit and Photo Exhibit "Faces of my Community" at Casa do Alentejo in Toronto


Every year in October Casa do Alentejo Community Center in Toronto celebrates Alentejo Province Culture, other Portuguese Provinces cultures and cultures from Portuguese speaking countries around the world.
Opening day. I was there with photos I took of the Portuguese Community during the 90's.


 I want to thank my mana Fernanda Oliveira for sending me crafts from Timor that I sold and the Timorese Enbaixador in D.C., Dr. Constancio Pinto for supplying me with tourism information on East Timor

Under the umbrella of Wings of Hope for Timor-Leste I was there with Timorese crafts, photos etc... we made $200.00 Canadian dollars from the profits of sales that will be used for the children in Timor-Leste.
