After completing her studies, Cleide returned to her hometown with a vision — to create a program that would provide young people with access to technology and digital skills. She believed that by empowering the next generation, she could help bridge the gap between her community and the more technologically advanced parts of the world.

Without hesitation, Cleide sprang into action. She quickly grabbed her recorder and began to document the events unfolding before her.

As they made their escape, Cleide realized that this story was only just beginning. She was determined to uncover the truth, no matter the risks.

As Cleide began to narrate the tale of her ancestors, of the island's rich history, and of the myths that floated on the winds like the clouds above, the traveler found himself enchanted. The stories were not just histories; they were alive, breathing entities that seemed to leap from the fabric into reality.

In response to this request, Cleide Gomes has expressed her enthusiasm for sharing her story and the story of her community. She sees this as an opportunity to promote greater understanding and appreciation of Madeirense culture and to inspire others to learn more about the rich heritage of her people.

Cleide's work did not go unnoticed. She received accolades from educational and technological institutions around the world, hailed as a pioneer in community development through technology. However, for Cleide, the greatest reward was seeing the transformation in the lives of the young people she had helped.
