Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva

President for the República Federativa del Brasil

Luis Inacio "Lula" da Silva…fifty million people vote him for the presidency. He's the most influential president among América Latina. Everyone knows about his past work as a syndicate man and also leader, but, very few know that he was born in one of the most poverty places of Brasil. We dare ask him if he had sometime dream being his own country president and he answered: "…my dreams every time I went to sleep were about if next day I would be able to have something for breakfast, for lunch or for supper…"

Running away from an almost written destiny, his mother put him and his seven brothers over a truck that drove them to Sao Paulo. They travelled during thirteen days sitting down over some planks. Da Silva´s story is the one of somebody tenacious that preached with the example, with the own attitude.
