I would like to share with you a few things about what value and honor mean to me and the fact that people or spirits do not meet or attract each other by chance. Along with the people who have touched my heart throughout my life I have learned that responsibilities are a goal and I enjoy carrying them, they honor me and give me meaning and joy. This role, that I am talking on as of today I want to be about honor, culture, the joy of giving and about grace. After all, it is only through family, love, o togetherness and especially through kind people that we can pass on grace, culture and love, to other people. “
