9.3 million Brazilians are illiterate, culturally blind, the new outcasts, those condemned to oblivion, those who will continue to be invisible to us.

Material poverty in a country exuberant with natural wealth is harsh and unfair. And along with material hunger, those illiterate people, who are actually excluded from society and who still have a lot of life ahead of them.
