Fortunately, you didn’t get injured while the wildfire burned your school.

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.

I am writing this message to you guys. When I look outside my window today, I see a beautiful world that others and myself call “home sweet home.” The trees glimmering in warm sunlight, the air stirring a cool breeze, and the water flowing down rivers are parts of our home Mother Earth.

Em fim, espero que você receba essa mensagem, e entenda o quão pequenos nos somos e como é importante preservar o planeta terra.

I want you to be prepared for the world that the generations before you are creating for you. I love you Lucienne, and I will not give up. I will push you and teach you not to give up, either, even if others around you do.

Please know that I have tried very hard to be one of those people, to even make the smallest of changes in order to improve the world for you and your future.

And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through. 

Let us teach our children to volunteer and donate.

It is today on March 6th, 2017 that you have made the decision to make a difference in this world.
