The Anghilau Association was born out of from the Kassumai Project and the connection that the Rei Vilar family has maintained with Suzana. This stems from the fact that the first school in the area was founded by Captain Luís Filipe Rei Vilar during his commission in 1969–1970, throughout the Guinea-Bissau Overseas War. The motto of Cavalry Company 2538, deployed in Guinea and commanded by Captain Rei Vilar, was: "Fighting, Building, and Teaching." Captain Rei Vilar spent very little time in Suzana, but during his mission, he built two schools: one in Suzana and another in Bogim. Children were gathered by Portuguese soldiers within a 5 km radius to attend school and returned home at the end of the day, after fed with a meal from the soldiers mess. The Felupe people have preserved the memory of Captain Rei Vilar's actions until today.
