Resident, Teacher
I loan because:
We believe that neither the country nor the family you happen to be born into should dictate what opportunities you will have in your life to succeed. “To whom much is given, much is expected.” “The world was not given to you by your parents; it was loaned to you by your children.” “It’s not about our people, it’s not about their people. It’s about people.”
About me:
We try to live "other-focused" lives, as we already have been blessed with more than we could have ever imagined. We hope to be able to help others receive the same blessings we have been fortunate enough to receive. In a world with so many resources and so much to offer, it is unacceptable to us that those who can help do not. For us, we simply must give and make whatever small differences we can in the world. If we all do just a little, we can do immense and miraculous things.
