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."
