ORGANIZATIONS & MEMBERSHIPS

As a recipient of the Community Award, I feel recognized, honoured, valued and encouraged to continue to do what I have been doing for decades. The majority of people when they depart this life, they leave material goods behind. I wish to leave my life experiences and thoughts to help the coming generation to help them walk on a spiritually purified selfless path of service.
