This year, we are very proud of our Timorese UWC alumnos, Natalino Guterres, who won the 2011 Davis Projects for Peace.

Davis Project for Peace is a project which gives opportunities to students atttending Davis schools to take part in building peace through their intelectual act. This project grants $10,000 for any project proposal submitted by students which are considered to be beneficial to the community. The main purpose of the project is linked to the title itself which encourages students to promote and build peace through their projects.

Natalino came up with a project he called Music for Peace. His passion for music inspired him to take initiative in making this project possible.

 The title itself reflects the project's goal which was to create Peace through Music. The project emphasizes the act of creating peace within community through music. Natalino's goal was to bring youths together and also to use music as a tool to communicate.

Davis Projects for Peace is another program funded by the Davis family which gives opportunity for students attending the Davis Colleges to make a change in their community.
