My most cherished desire is to help our women come out of their routine chores and infuse in them the indefatigable spirit of adventure.

In my community, women are as important as males, and they are playing an equal role in the society.

I want to tell women in developing countries that they are as powerful as their male counterparts, and they can play an equal role in their respective societies.
