Meet the winner of the iPad
Recently, Educaedu held a raffle for an iPad and the winner was Isabel Cristina Pais Antonio, from Cerquilho City, Sao Paulo, Brazil. For us at Educaedu, the delivery of this award was filled with emotion because soon after the winner received the prize, she sent us the following story:
“Today I received my iPad and want to thank you from the heart for this wonderful gift. Let me tell you briefly what happened to me earlier this year: I have an 18 year old daughter, and in February my daughter and I were at home when three thieves entered our home. My daughter was sleeping and was taken out of bed with a gun in her face. We were taken hostage by these men for over an hour while they stole everything and put it in our car. They took everything: the laptop, digital cameras, and mobile phones among other things. My daughter was awaiting the results of her university entrance, and begged in vain to be able to keep her laptop so she could see the results on the USP website. They took everything, but thank God they did not do anything to us. Now she is studying a BA in chemistry from the “Universidade Federal de São Carlos” (UFSCar), and was also accepted at other important educational institutions such as UNIFESP, UNESP, and she missed out on a place at the USP by only three people, so thank you very much for this gift, which I will give to her. “
