When reading this article my heart was warmed to know that although your position afforded you much, you took the time to champion for womens' causes.

This shows what a truly great man of God you are. It is awesome to see someone who has been elevated to continue to give back in our society.

Although I am only in my first year at Dal. I have been inspired by this story
