Altruism Quote by Janvier Chouteu-Chando
““...The world gets blessed every now and then with unique souls who though burdened by their invisible crosses, still have the extraordinary strength to forge ahead in life and give others a helping hand at the same time.

In fact, we even condemn them for failing to sacrifice more...””
