Environmental Education Picture Book

In Timor-Leste, there are few teaching materials and picture books in the local language, tetun.

JICA Overseas Cooperation Volunteer and Environmental Education Volunteer Arisa Minori created this book with a strong desire to create a picture book in tetun. 

Pinta Timor Lorosae（Naoko　Takaku） was in charge of the illustrations.

We hope that this picture book will be read by many children in Timor-Leste, and that it will inspire them to think about environmental education.

Thank you to JICA Overseas Cooperation Volunteers Arisa Minoru and Kohei Kaji for providing this valuable opportunity.

Thank you to Nao Tsujimura for coming up with the idea for the picture book, and Takaaki Shiraishi for his hard work in editing it.

You can read and downlord this book  in Tetun and Japanese on Jica's website ↓↓↓
