Why Me? Why Now?
A Bit of Background
The world may be getting smaller because of modern technology, but we are also growing further apart now that it is easier to see and experience conflicts. The truth is that world peace and personal happiness are only possible if we can help create prosperity for all, no matter where we are from and what we may look like. My life’s purpose is to help people build understanding and friendships across racial and cultural borders as equal global citizens. I believe that we can work together to create solutions to solve problems that impact us all. I was an international student myself, spending years pursuing my MA at the University of Maryland and then my MBA at Johns Hopkins University. After hosting television shows in Taiwan, I helped Discovery Channel launch in China. Followed by my ownership of a business consulting service, I created the Global Programs at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Maryland and managed its many international endeavors. I believe that global education destinations are our common destiny as a human race. I am so glad to see you on this journey.
Sincerely yours,
Yihung Mohs
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
