| On himself: | I am fifty-three years old and married. I have nine children. Two of them go to school, both in the first grade. I used to be a soldier, from 1968 until 2001. Now I am a farmer. I have a very simple life here. I am neither poor nor rich. I only want to live like everybody else.

| On the new school: | I am grateful for the new school. Before, no other organization ever supported us. This is the first time a school has been donated to our children. I am very happy that my own children can study at the school as well. I guarantee the safety of this school. The land here belongs to the school and no one else. |
