Quote:
"My connection to other people is what truly gives my life meaning. It is a part of my daily routine to look for opportunities to perform random acts of kindness for people I know and love - and for people that I've yet to meet. In a world filled with hate, struggle and military conflicts, it is important for all human inhabitants of the planet we call earth, to get involved in the Peace movement. My involvement in the Global Peace Concert would give one more voice towards the ultimate goal of World Peace."
