We cannot forget the pain and suffering of aning of ancestors. We are the wildest dreams of ancestors whose voices were silenced.

Unfortunately as we see 30 people were hit and killed each year on the streets and over 500 are seriously injured and we all want that number to go to zero, though, so that is far too many. I have been h
