About the Foundation - Inspirations and Principles
Inspirations
As with all things in life, there are numerous ups and downs and aspirations. We should take them in our stride and give and do God’s work within our means. I would like to thank HIM for giving me a blessed life, I think that it is and will be the highlight of my life that I am able to spend time with my parents, a supporting wife, and five loving children, and be in a position to continue to help others.
