QUOTE FOR THE MONTH

“If you show me where to stand, I will move the world.

There is an inherent ability and potential in every individual. We only need the right support to put this to optimal use whether as a person or a group of persons, and whether as a nation or a continent! Be always willing to lend a helping hand. “
