Do you still remember Ambrosius Sobral Lebre, an alumnus of Batch 10 from Timor Leste who has an interesting story in his life journey?
An inspirational story that began when Ambross became a refugee and orphan in a foreign country because of the Timor Leste independence referendum. Currently, he works in a large seed company in Indonesia and has a wife and children. For him, TLF is very influential in his life, it is what completely changed everything for him, gave him hope and made his career.
Ambross’ valuable experiences were shared with TLF students so that they would stay positive and passionate about achieving their goals. Ambross rode his motorbike all the way from Lembang, Bandung to the farm in order to encourage his younger siblings who are studying at TLF. For two hours, he shared his stories and experiences and discussed together with the students.
“The students are enthusiastic and their motivated,” he said. “They will go far thanks to the guidance and nurturing atmosphere here at The Learning Farm.”
“The message for TLF is to keep working and be that wonderful bridge for underprivileged youth, forever!”
We shall try, Ambross. We promise!
