We have always made it a priority to do what is best not only for ourselves and for our families, but for all of us. I must tell you how, when he was 14 years old, Zhechko made a tractor. Despite the lack of resources, the tractor worked! I must tell you, you’re lucky to have him as a leader and I’m lucky to have him as a brother!…’
