CURRENT MISSION

I try to live my life according to the African principle of "ubuntu" which means, "I am what I am because of what we all are." I strive to treat everyone I meet as if they were a member of my family, because the human family should be the most loving one

PHILOSOPHY

Ubuntu: I am what I am because of what we all are.

Everyone in the world is in this thing together and we have so much to learn from each other. I live my life because I believe by loving and learning, I can make some of the changes I want to see in the world, even if their impact seems tiny, those changes will be enormous to me.
