“As a nonprofessional on this topic, what I can say is that literacy is extremely important and fundamental for having a better-informed population, which in turn prepares us better to deal with these adverse situations. Therefore, I want to commend this initiative by Ipatimup and Antena 1, as it is providing a public service.”
