Definitely a genious! This kid has just contributed with a great aid to society. How much can he still do? is the question teachers, mentors, and all adults around him should ask and take action by helping him to do all he wants. I think that a heart like his only wants good for everyone and that must be encouraged and supported. I really feel a lot of respect and admiration for such a great boy.
