        Mario why you don’t try to do a fraction from what he did. Why is not youth? You must be shame of your self to say those things. He was congratulated by the president him self so stop this non sens. WELL DONE JOHN PAUL KEEP ON GOING WITH YOUR WORK.

        Dear Mario, it is clear that you don’t know him, lest you wouldn’t have spoken on him like that. The whole of Qala – irrelevant of political coulours- gathers around John Paul and congratulates him on winning the award. He is free of any personal ambition, should serve as inspiration to all of us.
