Meus amigos e amigas, tive o privilégio de ir a São Tomé e Príncipe em uma missão profissional. Posso lhes assegurar que este país é uma terra abençoada por Deus. Além de uma natureza maravilhosa, esse canto do paraíso ainda conta com um povo incrívelmente educado e hospitaleiro. Todo mundo merece um dia na vida passar umas férias em STP.
