Alfred believes strongly in the values upon which THRIVE is built: “At THRIVEGulu, all staff and the community are treated with dignity. All are considered equal and are given the freedom to share thoughts and ideas freely, even with senior management and the Board of Directors in the United States.” This general sense of equality and freedom has helped him grow both personally and professionally.
