Jesuinha Leocadia Guterres was the recipient of the midwifery scholarship. She is 42 and has four children, one at university, one in junior high and two in primary school. Her goal is to help women to give birth safely and more easily. She works full time in the Maternity Centre but has to travel regularly at least three hours for practicums, using public transport. She also volunteered to learn English, a course which is run for 2 hours, four times a week, from 5 till 7pm. How’s that for dedication!
