Sintia Radu talks about the importance of believing we are all part of a global society in which citizenship should not dictate our interest in contributing to the development of any community we wish to engage in. That life shouldn’t be about documents that tell us when we come and go from any place, how long we can stay, and what kind of relationships we can build. That our contribution to the world should be free as long as our intentions are of the right kind.
