Thank you friends of PRECE


For the past 2 weeks Marilia and I have been travelling around the USA enjoying the fast paced culture, the delicious food, the fabulous people and personalities, and the landscape ranging from large city skylines to rural mid-western farm land.  The purpose of our trip to the USA was 3 fold- we attended a Cooperative Learning Conference at the University of Minnesota led by Roger and David Johnson and Edyth Houlebuc, visited friends and supporters of PRECE and got the chance to do a bit of sightseeing along the way!

 We are so incredibly grateful for the support of all of you!  Thank you to those of you who donated SkyMiles and money for in country travel expenses as well as those of you served as host families as we journeyed from Atlanta to Minneapolis or bought us lunches and dinners along the way.  Thank you to Roger, David, Edyth and all our new friends from the Cooperative Learning Conference who reminded us exactly why we do the work that we do.  We were both extremely motivated by what we experienced and cannot wait to get back to Brasil to implement some new strategies and share our knowledge with others.  Thank you!! Without your help this trip would not be possible and definitely not as much fun.Each time I am back in the USA I am overwhelmed by the support and love I and PRECE receive from all of you.  As I head back to Brasil tomorrow I will carry a piece of you with me.  Thank you!
