I am eager to work closely with our esteemed officers, standing committee members and council of delegates to achieve these goals. Together, we can create a brighter future for the children of the Asia Pacific.
Let us embrace this opportunity to make a lasting difference. By working together, we can build a healthier, happier, and more prosperous future for generations to come.
