A much needful initiative!
In a materialistic world of the present times, one must “not” be quietly working for the benefit of Humanity and Future. To be externally successful, One must be like Mother Teresa, an all-time celebrity or else you just become an all-time struggler like me. But then it’s a personal choice to-be or not-to-be ’saintly’ or ‘celebrated’. Some people choose to be quietly serving and some choose to make a show about it. Congratulations Dr Gezim Alpion. http://www.selflessloving.com
