[Ambassadors] Very disappointed - What's our role as ambassadors?

[Sílvio Reis]

Thank you all for the support.
We will start the web site very soon with a hope than more portuguese people
will join us in the future.
There is a lot of a work and many batles to fight, but i will do my best.
Again thank you all for the words.
Thank you Pablo Barrera! I know what you did in Argentina - your words mean
a lot to me!
