Dear Bill Belsey President of Bullying.org,

I am an English teacher at a school in Terceira, an island in Azores, Portugal.

A few months ago I was searching the Net for information on the theme bullying at schools for my level IV English Language classes and I was surprised and amazed by the quality of the information on your www.bullying.org Website. So, as you propose, I adapted some of the material and gave my students a tour on the site. They all love it.

I developed some of the activities such as the survey and my students took the pledge. Those were very interesting classes and I really believe that now they are more alert to these kind of situations and will know how to react and help others in a bullying situation, which, by the way, is an increasing problem at our school.

I would have loved promoting a bullying awareness week, but it was too late to contact you and prepare all the activities that you propose. We will certainly particpate next year.

By becoming a friend of Bullying.org, I hope we can stay in touch and also I wish to learn how you can help to address bullying in my school and community.

Most sincerely,

Doroteia Dias
