One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A person borne without hands flew a plane with her legs,It's amazing..!

I and with the help of friends and well-wishers managed a fundraising for a young girl to continue her education in high-school then to university in my village/community.This happened after girl's parents died of HIV/AIDS virus.I think to me,this was an important achievement for the girl to realize her education dreams...She's doing her 3rd year in the university now...

Teach, Learn, Share

It's possible to become what you want to become in this world if only you programme yourself well, set your goals right and remain focus.Since I'm a senior tour consultant,I can teach and make a difference into the lives of many. Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder;leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.
