Hello to all of you, hope you have had a safe journey back home.
We would like to say that it was a pleasure to know such beautiful people as all of you showed us that still exist.
It was a wonderful job in a few weeks that we´ve made here, and achieved great improvements from your students.
We would love to see you again. Thank you very much for all the moments that we´re able to spent together.
Wish you the best, keep in touch

Ana e Dina,
Most of us are back in Melbourne and shivering.
thinking of you two and hopefully others from Portugal who have arrived to take up the next teaching of the teachers in Covalima.
The friendship we made with you in the past weeks was wonderful in many ways; the meals we shared, the thoughts about teaching methods, the students who studied with both of us, your cakes!
I hope that the next 3 months of teaching will be as much fun for you as it was for us.
Remember us to any students who were with us and who are now with you.
We were all delighted that you were able to come and share the final day and meal with the English teachers and students and that we will be able to maintain our contact with you both.
Until we meet again…

Ana e Dina, this is jen hughes documentary-maker and editor of suai media space. If there is any chance you would have time to introduce one or two of your English and Portuguese students/teachers to this way of communicating with us in Port Phillip I would be very grateful. Hopefully, then they might show others and we can get the people in the two communities communicating.
