About me: My situation is complicated but I am happy. Happy because I live together with my family, complicated because live in Cape Verde is hard, life is expensive but you earn little. So like I have a big family it sometimes is hard.
About Delta Cultura: Delta Cultura Cabo Verde is one of the best associations there is in Cape Verde. We worry about children and adolescentes. We work in diferent areas: professional training, education, culture and sport. I hope that Delta Cultura Cabo Verde will continue and one day the population of Tarrafal will be proud of its existence and will work together more.
I work at Delta Cultura Cabo Verde because I like work that helps young people. It is an honor to feel that I can help my community. Never mind if rich people or poor people, never mind what colour of eyes they have, because everything I do for somebody else I get something out of it too. I teach them a lot and I learn a lot too.
