Written and compiled in 1976 and 1977, it is a moving book that exudes the true meaning of helping—the kind of help everyone offers, growing together in the shared effort to understand the reality they seek to transform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn 1963, in Angicos, in the interior of Rio Grande do Norte, three hundred rural workers were taught to read and write in just 40 hours using the method proposed by Paulo Freire. This was the result of the pilot project of what would become the National Literacy Program under the government of João Goulart, the president who would later be deposed in March 1964. In October of that same year, Freire left Brazil to protect his own life. He only returned to the country in 1979, with the democratic opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Throughout his career, Paulo Freire has received more than one hundred \u003cem\u003ehonorary\u003c\/em\u003e doctorates from various national and international universities, as well as numerous awards, including the UNESCO Education for Peace Award and the Brazilian government's Order of Cultural Merit.

One group, for example, that seriously dedicates itself to growing flowers at Simão Mendes Hospital, considers the message of life that a rose can bring daily to the sick. They love the roses they plant as much as the land they prepare for planting fruit trees. Their love of life is connected to the effort of revolutionary reconstruction of their society.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159919476988,"sku":"9788577534333","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/cfc5f4e51f909bd71e4456fc4de054b1_1d060abd-6b23-49d5-8f35-54d0a8b89842.jpg?v=1778318391","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/cartas-a-guine-bissau","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
