My name is Noviano Gusmao Robbinson, I´m from Timor Leste (East Timor). Now I am working as a technician at a laboratory in the National University of Timor Leste.

I took part in Sakura Science Plan program in November 2016. During my stay in Japan I visited many historical places in Kyoto. Kinkaku-ji─the Golden Pavilion was one of such places. Beside learning something about Japan, I also really enjoyed my time while I was there.

In July 2017, I went again to Japan to attend a short-term training at Nagaoka University of Technology It was a training program support by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

I follow alumni news on the official Facebook, and really want to take part in alumni activities, but I may face financial problems in joining such activities. Even so, I always go along with SNS related to Sakura Science, especially through the official Facebook of Sakura Science Club. All in all, I am very interested in SSP/SSC alumni activity.
