Hi, how are you? I'm fine. Our hourhy minimun wage is $ 0.53 cents of dollar. It is tiny! Do you agree? Some Brazilian Kids work and they don't receive any bill or coin.Another kids work and receive a small, small salary! It's a pleasure to talk to you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Karina,
Hi! My name is Krista Young. I would like to ask you some questions about the money. I would like to know if the kids make 0.53 cents or does that go for the adults also? We make about $4.75. I agree with you that 0.53 cents is not a lot. I don't make any money. I don't work yet. If adults make 0.53 cents how much do kids make? How old do kids have to be before they can work in a store? Please write back.

Your Friend, Krista

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Lesley and Rhiann,

Hi, MY name is Shaun Reinhardt. I am 11 years old. I heard that you are doing the money project. We are doing a lot about the money project. Our money is called dollars, dimes, nickels, and pennies. I like money a lot. I buy lots of stuff with money.

I get 15 dollars for allowance. Allowance is a thing you get when you want to buy something. You got to earn it. Like doing chores. Like doing the dishes, cleaning, washing cloths.

Your Friend, Shaun Reinhardt
