These images, that most of us saw and expressed our deepest sympathy urged him to start his food for all campaign and raised 1000 US Dollars through a series of outreach programs, he embarked on with his family.
With the international recognition he had gained at such a young age, you would assume the praise would be enough for him to stop.
However to Andrew, the campaign had sparked something within and he was not just about to slow down or quit with some shouts of praise he had received at such a tender age.
