Greatest Desire: To see a world where everyone is at his/her best in serving their families, communities, the nation and the world at large.
Worst fears: corruption getting to our future generation. Corruption kills; it denies the young people, men and women an opportunity to realize their full potentials hence remains the main driver of poverty in the developing worlds.
