Thank you once again to our generous donor who provided the requested funds to purchase Annely a laptop so she could continue with her secondary education.

As a young adult, I feel accountable and responsible for how I treat God’s beautiful creation. I do my best to conserve and preserve nature.

When we finally reached his place we admired the tranquility and serenity of the area and the beautiful kubo he built for his [...]

They often try all sorts of philosophies, treatments, religions and drugs or stimulants to find themselves or to answer the question of who they are and the purpose of their lives.
