When Luna was taken from me, together with most of my gear, I received such unbelievable support from the Angolan government.
What really touched me deeply are all the letters I received from the general Angolan public. I wanted to share a few of these messages with you. (Some of these letters have been translated from Portuguese.)
From Jorge Semedo on 30 Aug ’11:
As a citizen of Angola, I offer my deepest sense of sorrow at the situation you find yourself in.
It is unfortunate that situations happen like this, but most of us Angolans and many other citizens of the world, strongly reject that this can happen. I want while giving a warning to all citizens and also the police, to show efforts to not only locate and arrest these individuals, but also learn from this situation for preventing it from happening again in the future.
Hope you do not get discouraged and to continue your adventure planned from the beginning. Strength - GOD is GREAT!
From Mariana Vieira on 30 Aug ’11:
Hello Jolandie
First of all, my congratulations for your COURAGE.
I want to apologize in the name of Angola for those bad guys. We have a few like them unfortunately, but most of us are good people, hard workers and love to receive well our visitors. And I am sure they will go to jail very soon, our police will take care of them.
I wish all the best for you, lots of luck and ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE. I will support any decision you will take after this and I will pray for you.
God be with you.
From José Carlos Costa on 31 Aug ’11:
Jolandie,
I hope you are well. As an Angolan citizen, I feel bad to hear that fellow Angolans hijacked your bike. You will be on my prayers and I am looking forward to see you back on road to finish your very noble journey.
Best wishes,
From Gilberto Texeira on 31 Aug ’11:
Hi Jolandie,

Please be informed that I, as all others Angolans of good faith, feel shame regarding this fact.
I just hope that this incident doesn’t affect your objectives and I’m looking forward to read in the news that you have fully accomplished adventure…

From Adérito José on 4 Sept ’11:
Hi,
I have just read about what happened to LUNA for which I am very sorry. I just hope you can proceed on your journey as soon as possible.
ALL THE BEST
From Edward Belchoir on 6 Nov ’11:
Hi Jolandie!!!!!!
It was so bad and sad to know what happens to you. We are 20 millions Angolans and they are only two who did that bad thing to you, so you can believe that 19.999.998 Angolans love you so much.
Don´t stop and do not worry, the police will find Luna ok???? And when it happens, please go ahead make us proud of African woman, please don´t let that two men take off your dream.
We love you so much and may god bless you forever.
Yours sincerelly
Edward Belchior
