Theme: Wander to Wonder

We all wander in search of finding ourselves and to explore the world. Wandering through one's life physically and mentally will help us wonder about ourselves, fellow humans, and the world. Thoughts spark in our head making us question and help us to discover ourselves. These thoughts can be the ideas that can bring out a change in the society to make the world a beautiful and better place to live in.
