Jan Koum, founder of WhatsApp, was born and raised in Ukraine from a relatively poor family. At the age of 16, he desperately moved to America, inpursuit of what we know as the "American Dream".At the age of 17 years, he can only eat from government rations. He almost became a bum.

He regretted never being able to preach this happy news to his mother.Sustenance comes from unexpected directions and forms.
