Hello! I am Dádiva David Salomão born in year 2001 in Nhamatanda district of Sofala province. Although I don’t have much formal training, I have participated in several educational programs ranging from HIV/AIDS education and gender facilitation, the mathematics Olympiad in the district phase, and a literacy program to teach the elderly to read and write.

While in Grade 11, I had the privilege of participating in a youth seminar on conservation biology promoted by the scientific department of Gorongosa National Park. In 2018, I took part in a program ‘The girl in school’ and with all that I learned, I designed my own projects related to sexual harassment in schools, drug abuse, and other topics.

In March 2018, as I couldn’t afford to attend university, I joined Gorongosa Restoration Program in the tourism department and enrolled in the Safari guide course. I want to become a safari guide and work in the Park to share what I have learned during training and our local culture. I am working very hard to improve my English and the knowledge I need to be a top guide. I have achieved FGASA level 2 in March 2024 and I have ambition to become qualified female walking guide in the future
