They all have unique stories that deeply touch and inspire people. Meaningful stories, based on facts, interpreted from the head and heart.

We challenge stereotypes, prejudice and fear-mongering. We debunk the myths  which people might still believe in.

Transparency and continuous self-improvement

We do not have all the answers, nor do we offer a solution to all the problems in the world.

We are constantly improving ourselves and invite others to help us do so.

We continue to learn together, about ourselves and about the world around us.
