Under the suggestion of some of the kids in Cape Verde I have been taking photos to the "godparents" and colaborators of the project receiving the thanking letters and cards the children have sent them, the first having been the guardian of the Air Navigation Training school whom I met soon after having got back from Cape Verde and arrived at Lisbon airport.

These are just a few of the many in the universe of the Aiports and Air Navigation enterprise, who have proudly become "godparents" of some of the Cape Verdian children of Calheta. I feel the children are as proud as they themselves look to be. I must confess I will forever be indebted to them because of having made some children happy and also because of having found out there are so many friends, colleagues and students I can really count on to help me carry this project forward.
