Comments or explanatory statement in connection with this declaration.


K1	Most of the work I do as a Board Member is unremunerated. As a social entrepreneur, I strive to empower the society via ethical institutions like the Kalinga Institute (Tribal University) and BirdLife. In business institutions, as well as in other NGO's, I invest in unemployed people and in people with a lack of opportunities, both financially as well as socially.
