SHINA Inc. you deserve every congratulation to have been selected to be a part of this event which will feature such diversified view points from the panel. The dynamism of your President shines through this topic echoing one of the visions of the Organization – giving a voice to be heard to those who are constrained to speak for themselves. Thank you for putting together this program, which I am looking forward to attending. Educative, very thought provoking and motivating are just a few descriptions I can give to the topic as it would force us – men and women to think of solutions to these age old challenges.
