Fred often reflects on the profound words of his mother: “You came with nothing, and you will go with nothing.” These words, spoken at a pivotal time in his life after completing his A-Levels, became a guiding principle in his journey. They ignited in him a lifelong dedication to serve those who, like him, once faced despair and lack of opportunity.
