“… you’ll never know your worth or significance to other people who finds courage, strength and faith in you. A simple person, who holds no position in the government, can actually extend a huge effort to support someone who looks forward… someone who has a big heart.”

“…I was deeply inspired and touched by the eagerness of the students to learn…you can see through them the will to learn and finish their studies. Because of them, my ambition to become an education deepens, and I really enjoyed sharing my time and knowledge with them.
