    Amazing initiative to improve the life of the people in general and in a place in specific, more things like this one should be performed in different places at all the times and for all the public, including kids that would be the future builders of this society.

    I love going to seminars like this, they always get me so pumped up to continue doing the things I do every day! They fill me with a sense of accomplishment, like fighting against the stream of the “status quo” really is the right choice, and ti really is doing good in the world, and I leave with a greater sense of community, realizing all the other people out there that share the same mindset.
