“Education is a process of empowerment through knowledge that leads to growth, change and transformation. It’s not just about receiving knowledges but it’s an enlightening experience.”

Peter Taylor

Skill to share? Participation.

Most important thing ever learned? Importance of relationships. Take care of people and take care of yourself.

Peter, inspired by Maya Angelou, also explains how people do not remember what you say but how you made them feel.
