He says, “Our world is structured in a way that at every point in time, there are people who will need our help and support. With the grace of god, I’ve experienced and received the kindness
of many people and I hope I’ve been able to pay that kindness forward. I’m grateful that because of my profession I have enough resources and a position that can be put to good use. I think being charitable is a fundamental value because at the end of the day - all of us are humans. You might be in need of help some time, and at times you’ll be the one who has the power to be helpful.”.
