Lula's second visit, in 14 months, to the CSA construction site was marked, this time, by a moment of emotion, led by a company employee.

My mother is a domestic worker, I'm 30 years old and this is the first time that I work with a formal contract. My life has changed because of the opportunity that CSA gave me.
