Teresina, April 10, 2018.

My friend Lula,

I write you this letter to thank you for all that you did for Brazil and for my state, Piauí.

I know you understand how important your presidency was and how much it changed our reality. But it doesn't cost anything to say thank you.

Thank you for bringing light to all the rural communities in my city, Piripiri.

Thank you for expanding the Institutos Federais.

Thank you for the technical schools, Pronatec, for enabling people and older workers to go back and study.

Thank you for Bolsa Família, Fome Zero, for incentivizing family farms.

In short, thank you for never giving up.

For inspiring us to fight.

Hug,
