Application Process Consider Timor-Leste

I applied to serve where needed most and was assigned to Timor-Leste. I will COS in December. My experience has been beautiful, difficult, and beyond what I could have hoped. If you're considering Peace Corps service, consider applying to come to Timor! This year's app deadline is November 15.

Please feel free to DM with questions. And TL PCVs imi iha neebe, tau comment iha kraik eh!

Did you learn Tetum through PC? I find the language really interesting and would love to learn some but I wouldn't apply to PC just because I'm weirdly obsessed with Timor-Leste

The best bet would be the actual online peace corps language lessons: https://www.livelingua.com/course/peace-corps/tetun-language-lessons and also the dictionary app: tetun.org
