Good sense of camaraderie and making a positive contribution to society.”

“It’s exciting, it’s great to see so many people coming together especially after two years of virtual events, finally meeting in person, on these physical occasions and meeting each other face to face and the exchange and warmth of feelings and sympathy from different members of different communities, it’s amazing,” he said. .
