“The gratification of helping others is priceless. There were times in my life when I needed a helping hand, more specifically around the subject of education. I was fortunate to have met a few people willing to lend that hand. I vowed that one day I would return to the favor and do the same for someone else; I have decided to make it a lifelong mission.” ~Edward Walker
