I would look at a dog and when our eyes met, I realized that the dog and all creatures are my family. They're like you and me.

Any serious shift towards more sustainable societies has to include gender equality.

Helen Clark

I am happy to say that everyone that I have met in my life, I have gained something from them; be it negative or positive, it has enforced and reinforced my life in some aspect.
