undefinedI am passionate about creating opportunities for economic mobility and social inclusion. I enjoy exchanging ideas and helping orphan girls during the weekends. I also spend good time trekking the mountains with natural forest. Every morning I start my day with meditation to calm my mind and become a better human being.
