Dear Teo,
Just like me, you are suffering government intervention in our right to walk in the city. The epidemic took us by surprise, didn't it? 2020 is being a peculiar year now that we have to be trapped inside the house with our families all the time, because our biggest and deadliest enemy is lurking outside and who would say that such a dangerous enemy would be so small, a virus. It is ironic when I think about it.
However, I understand that this government intervention in our freedom to go where we want is necessary. We must have the responsibility of not helping the corobavirus to proliferate and we must also be careful not to pass it on to our families or to overburden hospitals. Although the lack of freedom bothers me, I understand my responsibility in this event and I hope you understand too.
What makes me sad is that even seeing the seriousness of the situation many people disrespect and pretend that nothing is happening, it will prolong our "prison" at home and could harm many people.
I hope you found ways to have fun and write to me soon, as we have plenty of time now.
Kind regards.
Dean Patch

Dear Max,
I have such great news today! I and some of the girls in school have been trying to convince the headmaster to allow female students to participate in sports such as football and baseball. So far we hadn´t got any positive answers, it seemed like nothing was going to happen.
But yesterday the headmaster announced ALL school sports becoming Mixed-sex, meaning that from now on we can have teams with boys and girls! We are so happy because we made it clear that our request was not only about sports but also about promoting female participation in sports and make a point about gender equality.
Will send you a picture of my new uniform! I´m playing football starting next Monday!
Hope you´re doing well.
Best regards,
