Carlinho Moreira Martins

Carlinho has been a member of the Rotaract Club of Dili since 2008. He assists the club’s leadership sector by providing training and courses for Timorese youth concerning transformational leadership for capacity building. He also teaches English and in 2010 he began a program to teach basic English for youth aged 12-15 in the Taibessi deposito penal sub-village. He views access to education and corruption as considerable human rights challenges in Timor Leste. Carlinho consequently views this training program as a significant opportunity for him to improve his ability in lobbying, and developing a strategy on human rights affairs and negotiations.
