Dili – September 2, 2026
President of the Republic J. Ramos-Horta joined the swearing-in ceremony for the TL14 Group of U.S. Peace Corps volunteers at Hotel Timor today, extending a warm welcome to the incoming cohort and expressing profound appreciation for their commitment to serving local communities across the country’s aldeias and sukus.
Highlighting the vital role volunteers play in education, IT skills, and promoting community health and nutrition, the Head of State commended their grassroots dedication:
“The Peace Corps is one of the greatest inventions by the U.S. and the great President John F. Kennedy. The activities that you do in our villages teaching English, sharing technology, and raising awareness on hygiene and clean water are deeply helpful and meaningful to our people.”
President Ramos-Horta also paid tribute to outgoing Peace Corps Country Director Jamie Fouss for his exceptional five years of dedicated service in Timor-Leste, while reaffirming the enduring historical bonds and humanitarian partnership between Timor-Leste and the United States.
