Thomas Lofaro

Photo still to come!

Several members of other groups know you well because you are an active member of CLC, and you also helped in organising the CLC seminar two years. For those who don't know you, can you tell us in short who is Thomas Lofaro?

Heh - xi dwejjaq ta' mistoqsija Carl!  Ma stajtx tibdini b'xi haga ahjar?  Insomma.  Jien jisimni Thomas, u jiena student universitarju fl-ahhar sena medicina.  Ikolli nghid li ma tantx inhobb nitkellem fuqi nnifsi.  Jien persuna li nhobb hafna l-bahar, il-kwiet u l-maltemp.  Jien ukoll perfezzjonist, u inhobb l-affarjiet maghmulin sew, u bl-ezatt. Ovvjament, kollox sew meta nahdem wahdi, imma ftit aktar difficli meta nahdem ma haddiehor!  Jien narani bniedem sensittiv - xi drabi z-zejjed, u anzjuz ukoll. U marda li zgur irrid inbaghti biha la nikber hija l-pressjoni oghlja.  Inhobb nghin lil min hu fil-bzonn.  Inbaghti naqra bil-burdati u naqra nervuz ukoll.  Niddejjaq hafna bin-nies arroganti fit-toroq, bl-Istati Uniti u l-policy taghha fil-Lvant Nofsani, u b'sehibna Norman Lowell.

Two summers ago you trekked Pyrenees together with other European CLC communities. What do you value from this experience?

L-aktar memorja sabiha li ghandi hija li nquma kmieni filghodu fil-kwiet - u nisma' lil wiehed habib taghna Franciz gej iqajjimna bid-daqq tal-kitarra.

Do you feel that being in CLC has helped you in your daily experiences?

Iva hafna.  Huwa ezercizzju ta' kuljum biex nitghallem nghix ma haddiehor, nara t-tajjeb fin-nies u nkun aktar generuz u umli ma ta' madwari - affarjiet li l-aktar li kelli bzonn.  Il-hbiberija taghhom taghtini hafna kuragg ghax dejjem kienet hemm, anke meta ghamilt xi wahda minn tieghi!

Thanks Thomas for taking time to answer this interview, but most of all, thank you for your dedication to MAGIS and to CLC.
