This academic project was born because I have met special people, and through this thesis, I could work with special professionals of that area. My gratitude goes to Ana Isabel P., because she understood me even when the words were not sufficient. Special thanks goes to Isabel M. because she took my hands and gave me her smile when the coincidences of the life where not the best. Thanks to both, this thesis has followed the correct route. To my lovely Breinerers, because they (we) captured the essence of our lives during the year lived “na Breiner”. Despite my work is well organize and reflects technically the lived event, what happened in Breiner, in Breiner it remains. That year was amazing, this house was something better, those people are all around the world and a piece of me is travelling with them.
