Message From The Director
The post-pandemic year 2021 was a year that could best be described as a year of hope, grief and resilience. Despite tackling the challenges posed by Covid-19, our spirit of enthusiasm and courage prevailed.
With the atmosphere of fear and uncertainty that is characteristic of the global pandemic, an important question arises on our future roles and contributions.
