In this episode, Sam tells us why he is passionate about what he is doing by reflecting on his entire journey.
To my surprise, despite being a “philanthropist captain” at his high school, all he wanted to do was to become a school teacher.
However, what happened that led him to find his current purpose? Join me to listen to his interesting stories behind: the important lessons that he learned at his residential college, the profound moment during his development study program in Indonesia, and the most special event that he organised in his country-town. His journey truly shows the possibility of creating his human by human change.
Also, you will find out how to be a culturally sensitive person and his tips for international students on how to create better connections.
