Today, he achieved something extraordinary—he became a proud unionized member of LiUNA! Local 183. Our hearts are overflowing with pride for him. Congratulations, my friend; you have made it, and we couldn’t be happier for you.

We want to extend my deepest thanks to the incredible team at ORA, the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, and most importantly, the LiUNA! Local 183 Training Centre. Sandro Pinto, Lisa Pryce, Sara Salgado, Elizabeth Reis, and all the exceptional instructors—David, Ross, Tony, Manny, Corey, Tiago, Joe, Michael, Tony, and Lui—your dedication has made this possible. A special thanks to Jack Oliveira; you have not just transformed a life but have positively impacted future generations. Your contributions are immeasurable, and we are profoundly grateful. Thank you!
