@mcrarmy1

I lived in Guinea Bissau and recently returned home. There still are very few schools in the village i was in, but people really are wanting more to be made. If you have more questions, feel free to ask ;).

Everything the reporter says from 0:47 - 0:55 does not translate to what this girl said.

What she meant by "...n'ta corta arroz, n'ta rinca mancarra, n'ta suta arroz e n'tissi pa nha mamé", is that she "cuts rice, uproots peanuts from the ground, mills rice (removing chaffs - the outer husks of the grain -by continuously hitting bundles of rice with a stick), and I bring them to my mother."

Basically, she's talking about her tasks... she didn't say nothing about wanting to be a teacher.

i am not disputing your translation... just saw the narration a little differently. the narrator doesnt seem he is translating "verbatim" just summarizing the encounter UNICEF had with Mariama Sambu. but i see your point, the audio/video timing can lead people... thanks

Thanks folks

Nice to see some signal to the noise ratio, with positive stories like this, which provides an insight into the work of UNICEF and the countries where projects are under way.
