Put extraordinary people together and wait a little bit, you will make extraordinary things. In a world where sad news are daily news...Remembering that good will people fight also for a better world is healthy. Pon juntas a personas extraordinarias y espera un poco, harán cosas extraordinarias. En un mundo donde las malas noticias son noticias diarias ... Recordar que la gente buena lucha también por un mundo mejor es saludable. #beurijinal #nasa #aurora7 #space Proudly made in Venezuela by wordchangers
