In this talk, we discovered how a former can collector managed to graduate, became a teacher, studied at one of the best universities in the world (Harvard), and developed a project that supported low-income families without electricity or internet access. He also founded a school in an African village that now serves 172 children aged 2 to 16, and has given lectures at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and in Paris. He is currently a researcher at Lottus Energy – Dubai and at the Federation of Industries of the State of Ceará. This is the inspiring journey of a man from Pernambuco who proudly calls himself a "Cearense" and loves the Cariri region.
