It’s with mixed emotions that we share the news that Rafa, one of our lovely girls from Brazil, will be leaving Portena after Christmas and won’t be returning for the next semester. Rafa has brought so much warmth, joy, and positivity to our house, and her kind spirit will be truly missed by everyone.

Her presence here has made such a difference, and it’s hard to imagine Portena without her infectious smile and friendly energy. While we’re sad to see her go, we know she’ll do amazing things in the future. Rafa, we wish you all the best and will always remember the great times we had together. You will be missed more than words can express, and you’ll always have a special place in our hearts! 💖
