Happy Birthday Earth Ranger, Frank-Kightley Ngalim. 12 years old with +10 years of service to people and the planet

Steem greetings,
Today my first son, Nyuykighan Frank-Kightley Ngalim turns 12. It was on a Tuesday some twelve years ago that I felt the joy of becoming a father. I was young, 25 at that time but was ready to become a dad. The happiness he brought was indescribable and holding this little me made me feel different. I could feel the responsibility on my shoulders and when I looked up, I felt the man in me and became a real man from that day till date.
It still feels like yesterday but 12 years have passed and little is growing up to become a man. What's most inspiring is the fact that little K started serving me, people, and the planet as early as 2.

Let's talk a bit about my son ...

Frank-Kightley means “honest or true Knight” and like his name, he has been a true knight for people and the planet Earth. He started community service at the age of about 2 when he will always join his father to nurse and plant trees, participate in community clean-up activities as well as coordinate and participate in E-Sports (Environmental Sports)

Since then, Frank-Kightley committed his life to serving people and the planet and this explains why he enrolled in the Earth Rangers summer holiday program as well as has participated in diverse environmental projects and programs that include plastic bottles, tires, and textile recycling. He has been involved in environmental arts, crafts, and photography and will henceforth be getting into Environmental Advocacy as he turns 12.

His passion for environmentalism has earned him local and international certificates such as the 2010 Clean Up the World Volunteer Certificate, the Earth Rangers Summer Holiday program certificate, and the UNSESCO/ISESCO International Art Contest

Having Frank-Kightley as my son makes me feel very proud. Today, I celebrate a young grassroots hero. I celebrate a small boy who has achieved a lot and whose achievements that make me feel special.

Today I want you all to join me to wish GREATNESS to my son. While wishing him good health, peace, and love, my greatest wish for him is to lead the change and make the world a better place.

Happy Birthday Frank-Kightley!
