My organisation Many Hands International, hosted Marita to work with us offering arts therapy services to women in Timor-Leste who had experienced trauma during their country’s turbulent history. We were delighted that Marita was so thoughtful, kind, sincere and fully present to all the women she worked with. She offered creative, stimulating, challenging and quieting experiences which participants enjoyed enormously and reported significant benefits from. Many very appreciative comments like this came back in evaluations translated from Tetum: “Today, I follow this workshop, I feel happy because as a new experience for me, so I can apply to my friends or in my family what we learn about the health for the women. I give thanks to Many Hands International, which share their experience with us.” We recommend Marita’s arts therapy work very highly.
