Mozambique Teacher - Jonas Mendes

"I've been teaching for 17 years, and through the civil war, when our classrooms were raided. Mozambique is a poor country with a lot of problems. We need doctors and engineers to develop this country for the future - that is why I am a teacher. Our town is expensive now, because tourists now come here. My family struggle on what I earn, sometimes all it pays for is food for the month, but I still have to buy uniforms and books for my children to go to school. It's not me alone; all teachers in Mozambique have these problems – problems of food, transport and health. I have two sons, both in primary school. My youngest Eddie wants to be a teacher when he grows up."
