business there were numerous opportunities such as providing jobs to people and witnessing the realities of life for people who helped us in our business I have witnessed first-hand my employees’ struggles with their own lives as they continued to help us succeed in our business I became so involved with their worries as well as their successes realizing that I was and I am a big part of their lives,” she said her philanthropic works include health services She sought more ways to help in her capacity and sponsored a group of physicians and surgeons from Pennsylvania USA to come and perform surgery to the needy families with children who had cleft lip and cleft palate “That was a very rewarding mission as I saw the happy faces of children who were once withdrawn and shy because of their deformity I am merely a vehicle for the Almighty God’s work here on earth I supported education by providing buildings and educational resources to schools and colleges and funding the education of underprivileged children as I believe that through education they will have a bright future and will be able to become better citizens of this country,” she said She added that everyday there was something for her to do the business aspect was a major role for her but the humanity aspect was even a bigger role because human lives are at stake and that is precious “I speak for the past and the present because I feel and I know that I am needed here in this life to serve humanity all amounts to loving and serving humanity with compassion and caring touching people’s lives as I am there for
