Hello There!

Aside from the will of my continuous education in electronics engineering and my competitive training in open water swimming; my major concern is to help the living beings in the need of help.

I feel that these tasks all require the ability to solve problems, be self-disciplined and validate the situation from all aspects while remaining peaceful, open-minded and strong-willed throughout the most of time.

The soul will always do what it needs to do. As human beings, we function in every aspect of what we are made of. Trust the process..
