Meet-up with Smart Osvita and Colégio Efanor

Yesterday was a very very special and exciting day for Elsa and Anne. And we think that the students who came to the meet-up between Smart Osvita and Colégio Efanor would agree!

A couple of weeks ago, we received a lovely email:

In a previous post, you can read about Colégio Efanor’s fundraising and the speech bubbles they drew and wrote and the ones they received in reply from students in Anne’s class on April 24th with Smart Osvita.

We were thrilled at the idea, and immediately contacted Smart Osvita to start arranging the meet-up. As always, this amazing organisation set to work to organise the session and set up the link.

Then, in another email, we received another amazing contribution to this connection. An e-book full of messages, pictures and some useful words in Portuguese for the Ukrainian students.

We love your cat (gato) and Portuguese-Ukrainian heart!
Adoro!
Freedom is an important thing that everyone should have
You are half a volleyball team!
We also hope that peace comes to Ukraine soon.
Obrigado and por favor are very important things to know and say!
Colégio Efanor is a wonderful ‘escola’!
Como estás? How are you? як справи?
Thanks for rooting for Peace for Ukraine!
We love your self-portraits!
Tchau! до побачення!
In Ukraine, students’ daily routine will be like yours.

Thank you for the encouragement – it means a lot!

Martin and Simone, you can invite us for breakfast any time!
We’d love to be your friends too!
Now we love red carnations even more!

Amarelo and azul are the colours of Ukraine!

You must explain these expressions – we get the one about the orange, but not sure about the donkey or the chicken!!
We love your sunflowers and background! And thanks for being part of our wonderful chain!
Desculpa is another word we should definitely learn. Volleyball seems very popular in Portugal – perhaps we could organised a Ukraine – Portugal tournament!

We know that like us, you will have enjoyed reading the 4th graders from Colégio Efanor’s texts! What inspiring students you are!

And last but not least, we would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU, Дякую (Dyakuyu) to Carla, Patricia, Isabel, Ana and Adriana from Colégio Efanor and Anastasia, Iryna and Olena from Smart Osvita. You are incredible educators, inspiring the next generation.
