My name is Gon\u00e7alo Monteiro, and those were my dream jobs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">People often asked me why I wanted to be a \"garbage man\". I always saw these professionals as superheroes: the fact that they keep the streets (which we all use) clean, pick up trash from the ground, and ensure hygiene by doing what no one else likes to do meant, and still means, a lot to me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">I ended up changing my path and pursuing Finance, and in the future, Management, but my goal remains the same: to make the world a better place. Above all, I want to inspire and motivate people toward positive and sustainable change. I see myself as a man of the world, with a long-standing passion and an unstoppable drive to explore new cultures, countries, people, and realities. My best experiences have been abroad: an intensive month in Paris, a semester studying in Canada, four months working in the Netherlands, and volunteering in Kruger National Park.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Those around me consider creativity to be one of my greatest strengths, alongside my resilience and perseverance.

One night, I woke up in the middle of a dream. In that dream, I was lost in Angola, searching for a bus. I wondered, \"Why Angola?\" Then a light opened up, and everything began to flow naturally. That was it: I wanted to do something that touched me personally, to go back to my roots, to my history, and fulfill my purpose in those countries to which I feel connected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">My maternal grandmother was born in Angola, my father and paternal grandmother were born in Cape Verde, my grandfather went through hard times during the Colonial War, served in the military in Mozambique, and worked in Guinea-Bissau. I began to find a connection between all these places, feelings, and family stories and arrived at the PALOP countries. It makes perfect sense to visit and create an impact in these countries, where I have a past but have never been, and where, until now, I haven\u2019t been able to make a difference.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">The countries where my family was born, and also suffered.

I will learn all this with the certainty that it will be used in my personal and professional future, as well as in a shared future that belongs to Everyone. I see this project as six months of learning, teaching, and hard work. I see this project not just as my own, but as a project that belongs to Everyone.
