-: Good morning everyone, This is a good initiative. It was long overdue. Admins well done.

-: Thanks Mr. Avutaga. 

Saniaga group is not new to us nor our fathers nor grandfathers. There were efforts all through the generations to have the people unified, communing often with each other and helping in need. This group is one version of the efforts to gather us from wherever parts of the world. 

There are also active Saniaga groups on the ground that we aim to strengthen and capacity build. We also desire to see more formed. More about the groups is at the blog and the website. 

May we therefore offer a sustainable professional approach to the course - strengthening our relationships here and participating in the various groups. You can also offer your support to see activities/programs happen. And in that manner we shall leave a mark of our time. 

Asante.
