LET'S NOT SERVE IN WORD, NEITHER WITH THE TONGUE; BUT IN DEED AND TRUTH

Not everyone has the privilege of being born into a society that gives them the chance to grow up in an economically stable, psychologically and mentally safe and appreciative environment, to develop their personal potential and to lead a life characterized by meaning, dignity and opportunities for development.
