DEDICATION

In spite of differences in cultures and economic handicaps, the fore-fathers of our organization were able to rise to the occasion and reveal their sterling courage. To their noble attribute we pay tribute and draw inspiration from their determination to make a name and a place for themselves in their adopted land - this beloved country of ours.
