In this government, as long as we have a worker who comes from the people as president of Brazil, no worker, male or female, will be invisible. Your pain will reach us here at the Presidential Palace. It's very important for us to acquire our own vehicle. It's very important for us to have [music] and the dignity to be able to buy our motorcycle, our car. I am a person who spent many years experiencing homelessness. I spent 14 years in Crackland. Six years ago, I found the strength, I stood…

It is gestures like this and attitudes like that of this young woman that make us understand the role the State plays in people's lives . [applause] And I want to say how important this public policy that the president is launching is. President Lula is truly the only president who genuinely cares about the working class; he 's the only president of Brazil who actually does something for us. We fight, we go to the streets, we struggle. But like, it's such a struggle to achieve anything, you kno…

This country has had as many people educated and graduated from the Ministry of Education as the President of the Republic has had a doctorate. Why didn't the others do it? It's because in their minds, poor people don't need to study, they need to work. Black people don't need to study, they need to work. Indigenous people don't need to study, they need to work. And the difference is that in my mind, poor, black, indigenous people have to study, and I prefer to study. I don't want to take a…

Thank you, dear friends. Let's first address the concerns and worries of the mayor. Mr. Mayor, you can count on a team of experts made up of civil and structural engineers who will be able to carry out the technical evaluations of our minor basilica. And likewise, rest assured that we will guarantee the availability of resources. We'll take responsibility for whatever it costs and we'll start working on it now. And I agree with you, I agree. I agree with you. It's not about rebuilding what …

Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [music] >> [music] [music] >> Today on the 11th day of September, we are here once again to celebrate what would have been the 109th birthday of my father Ferdinand e Marcos senior. It also serves as an occasion to remember the life of service and the lessons that he left us. Of course, I first knew him as my father and many of the lessons that I remember were the ones he taught me when I was still very young. And it is remarkable because uh now I find myself in the posit…

Mr. President, our star student, he passed the IM exam while still in his second year of public school, having completed all of his high school education in public schools in Piauí, and he participated in numerous Olympiads. And he has a statement saying that what inspired him to start dedicating himself to this? Tell me about it. My initial inspiration to have this greater drive for my studies came when I started to think that studies are n't just for me, they're for my whole family. And thes…

Nothing is impossible in life. Nothing, nothing, nothing. All you need is the will and the opportunity. Our role is to create opportunities. Your job is to enjoy life and succeed. [applause] As long as a government truly invests in education, even the impossible can begin to become reality. And all I can do is thank you all and say thank you very much for believing in the youth of our country and for showing through actions that a young person from the countryside can conquer the world, and…

Every year, on the tenth of September, the world observes World Suicide Prevention Day, and we are reminded that behind every life lost to suicide is a face, a family, and a future that was cut short too soon. As President of the Republic of Seychelles, I carry this reminder with me not as a statistic to note, but as a responsibility to act. Mental health is not a peripheral concern to my Government. It is a foundation of the nation we are building, and silence and stigma have too often stood be…
