Social Responsibility simply means being kind and
responsible not only for yourself but for everyone around
you. Let us all be reminded that in our own simple way, we
can make a big difference on the lives of other people, and
that we should take full responsibility of our actions.

“Those who enjoy responsibility usually get it; those who
merely like exercising authority usually lose it”.
