  • Amazingly, what brings us together sometimes is the most important issue that divides us and this is due to two factors i.e. EGO and Money

  • We wish to create simple relationships that are sustainable and mutually beneficial to both parties both from commercial and human development;

  • This should be a valued relationship instead of a Master/slave relationship
