Memorable Quotes
"More than seeing the poverty, all I could see was so much potential going down to waste. People, when they go to third world countries, they only see the poverty. But all I could see was so many kids with so much potential that would go to waste if no one did something to help them." – Maria Conceicao
"What I learned with the English Channel is keep swimming. Even if you're going to the wrong direction, keep swimming because the tides, they will eventually change." – Maria Conceicao
"Dreams, they don't happen not because it's not possible. It's just because people, they give up too soon. And it will be a very tough journey. It will be incredibly hard. But remember, the harder it is, when things are really tough, that means you're going the right way." – Maria Conceicao
