" You are flowers in my heart.  I always pray very early in the morning, during the whole day for everything I do I am praying.  And my way of praying is almost singing.  The fire sings, the wind sings, the water sings, the earth sings, so we sing also to give thanks to Creator."

I have a very big faith that we are able to change something that we are going to be able to give hope for our next generation. "
