From Maid to Minister

I wish that I had the strength to be like Marina Silva. She has done so much in her life and had so many obstacles. She learned how to read and right in 15 days, which is just amazing. And she has been fighting for environmental rights for most of her life. At the same time she does not get very much attention by the foreign media.
