Aos 6 anos guardava cabras e nunca aprendeu a ler

• "They didn't put me in school because I was needed to herd goats." This and other memories are shared by Maria Gracinda Martins, who, at almost 90 years old, recalls her youth spent in the village of Videmonte, in the municipality of Guarda. In this interview from Aldeias com História (Villages with History), we hear the testimony of someone who spent her youth in the middle of the hills, among animals, hard work, and a simple life, but full of dignity. 🌿🏡👵🏻 • "I always worked in the fields. I didn't know how to do anything else. We ate what the land gave us. But we never went hungry." A conversation that shows us the value of resilience, humility, and a deep connection with the land. "I went to the city and only wanted to come back from there. The cars make so much noise, so much noise." 📍| Videmonte, Guarda 🔔| Subscribe to our channel for more content: https://bit.ly/2vVZ0qB 📰 | Visit our website for more news and updates: www.jornaldocentro.pt 👉 | Follow us on Social Media to stay updated: ➛   / jornaldocentro   ➛   / jornaldocentro   ➛   / jornaldocentro_   ➛   / jornaldocentro   📹 | Curious?
