“The power of one, if fearless and focused, is formidable, but the power of many working together is better.” – Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

It’s 12 : 14 PM on day 1724 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,   read Amos 6, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  feed myself egg with bread  for breakfast, learn one new thing – White tigers, also called snow tigers, carry the recessive gene for blue eyes. Other tigers have yellow irises. White tigers are neither albino nor a separate subspecies; they are Bengal tigers.–  promote my  Educate Generations campaign–$3 025 raised so far  .
