Abstract

These interwied, from Angola and Guine Bissau, had a principal objective which was to study to obtain an education in order to improve their own lives and those of their families,when they return to their countries.When they arrive in São Paulo, they experience three forms of social impact related to differences in culture: The way older citizens are treated as insignificant; the manner in which parents are derespected by their children and finally, the casual nature of intimate relashionships among young people in the presence of their parents.These women come of their own accord and wish to study.However through the informal work they cannot afford to go private universities and are not sufficiently experience to access public ones.They hope to return to Angola and Guine Bissau with qualifications but do not know how long this process will take
