While traveling around Portugal, I was in Lisbon when I read that teachers would make a protest on January 26th. Unfortunately I came back to Brazil on the 25th of January and couldn īt be there but I īd like to send you my support. I īve heard that you once had a "decrease" in your salaries and that you īve lost the right to receive the 13th salary. It īs a pity and I īve been crossing my fingers for your country to "recover" soon. Such a wonderful place, with such friendly people deserve only good things.

Sincerely,

Dayana

It īs true..our country is going through the worst crisis I can remember. Our salaries decrease in different ways: the 13th salary has been cut, this month our salaries were reduced around 6% and our working conditions became ultrageous...it is necessary to love being a teacher ( to be honest all the professionals in our country are going through the same ordeal )  to do it with all your heart. At the moment we have duties,  but no rights, so hope and love for our students are our weapons to keep fighting. Thanks for your friendly words!

Yours,

Any
