To be success in something, you need to put stress on not only academic or professional knowledge but also connection with people and it will be able to help you doing things well.

Yes! He nailed it: the only way to teach is through love! And using artistic expression to teach is so healing! I absolutely love that he’s going to the most dangerous regions. That gives me hope for the next generation in those regions.
