Giving back to the community has become part of me since I moved to the US. I have been part of many NonProfit Organisations to help them with my experience and design skills, I am proud and continue to do this, that any small contribution will benefit them. Education and children are my preferred way of contributing, which I think is the best way we enhance our future generation.
