About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am helping change the mind of a nation.

ABOUT ME

I am a social entrepreneur, a mentor and a catalyst. I believe in the value of creating new systems. Back minister Fuller said that when the system is broken, one should not fight against it, but rather, invest energy in creating new systems which render the other one obsolete. I resound with this idea.

PHILOSOPHY

You can get anything you want out of life if you help enough people get what they want.
