Motivation:

I always had the desire to meet different cultures and esp. People. Through my parents who were very social towards other people, I felt to offer my time and life to young people helping them to build up their life in education of the Montessori Philosophy. To become a peaceful respected person living harmonously with others.

I believe in God and the Divine Providence and that has always been the guidance in my life.
