More About Me

I'm passionate about

Healthy Preservation of World's Cultures, Ending Poverty and Innovation & Creativity for Livelihood.

An idea worth spreading

Facilitate the growth of juvenile delinquent schools/institutions into innovation centres using design thinking methodology for corporations.

Talk to me about

being able to contribute ideas, time, energy and resources to various psycho-social based pro-poor developmental programmes in third world developing countries.

People don't know that I'm good at

cooking/finding great food and unleashing potential in others.

My TED Story

An active volunteer since 11 years old, I have evolved into a more active engagement within the community development space by developing economic platforms for underpriviledged and socially isolated communities. Mainly in Aceh (Indonesia) and Phapha Bari (Nepal), my team and I have built livelihood training schools, distributed supplies to displacement camps and many others in the past seven years.
