Chairman's New Year Message

KDU Global and all its chapters in the diaspora, I sincerely wish you a happy New Year.  I will also use this opportunity to thank our donors, contributors, and supporters for all their help this past year.  We do appreciate their support which makes a great difference in the organization, especially in fulfilling our goals.

Let us take a moment to reflect on where we have been and where we are going.  First of all, let me thank you for steering the ship with me and for the goals we have accomplished this past year.  I say thanks to God for His continuous guidance and protection during this journey.  Let us continue to stand firm and strong in our commitment to do what we are called to do in this organization.
