Tânia Cruz and her family host children from Guinea-Bissau in Miranda do Corvo

Diário de Coimbra30 August 2026 at 08:15

Since February 2022, Tânia Cruz and her family have been offering love and support to Guinean children undergoing surgeries at the Coimbra Pediatric Hospital. The family, originally from Miranda do Corvo, establishes a special connection with the children from Guinea-Bissau through the "Filhos do Coração" (Children of the Heart) project.

The Filhos do Coração project was born with the objective of supporting Guinean children who need surgical interventions in Portugal. Tânia Cruz and her family welcome these children during their recovery period, providing them with accompaniment and affection.

The bond between Guinea-Bissau and Miranda do Corvo has been strengthened through this solidarity initiative. Tânia Cruz's family is dedicated to accompanying the children from their arrival in Portugal until their complete recovery, ensuring they receive the necessary support throughout the entire process.

The Coimbra Pediatric Hospital is where the Guinean children are operated on, while the families from Miranda do Corvo take on the role of welcoming and providing post-surgical accompaniment, creating emotional bonds that go beyond the borders of the two countries.

"Changed our lives": woman discovers the 'harsh' reality of 100 teachers and makes a 'meaningful' gesture at a surprise meeting that left the room in tears

A woman from Marin County, California, donated one million dollars (approximately 862,000 euros) to one hundred public school teachers in the Ross Valley School District, giving each teacher a check of approximately 7,906 euros. Maja Kristin made the decision after investigating the district's funding difficulties and realizing that the teachers were among the lowest paid in the region, despite Marin being one of the wealthiest counties in the United States. To keep the surprise, she asked the district to gather the teachers without revealing the reason for the meeting. The envelopes were distributed during a gathering on August 13, provoking emotional reactions among the teachers, who described the gesture as capable of "changing lives." Kristin stated that she intends not only to directly support the teachers, but also to encourage other residents to contribute to public education.
