"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."
