From Alfred M. Dousuah, President of UNIBOA
Fellow members, supporters and friends of UNIBOA, on behalf of the Board of Directors and Administration of the United Bassa Organizations in the America, (UNIBOA) I wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a joyful new year.
At Christmas our thoughts are always with our families, relatives, and friends; it’s the time of the year we seldom make the time to sit quietly and think of our blessings.
As we approach the light of the New Year, I would like to extend special greetings to those who have been there for us and given us their supports. You are in our thoughts and prayers. For everyone though, the holiday season is a time to reflect on the past, and to look to the future with hope and confidence. It is a time of celebration and of compassion. Many of us will be thinking of close friends and relatives whom we may have lost during the year. I hope you can spare a thought for the unfortunate ones.
I want you to know that UNIBOA continues to enjoy its status amongst the most committed and strongest ethnic organizations in the Diaspora. My hope for 2008 and beyond is that the goodwill and respect for each other will not be compromised and we shall keep up to the challenge to keep UNIBOA maintains its status, and remains focus on our humanitarian mission and goals.
I also want you to know how grateful I am for the support and respect you have offered me in carrying out my responsibilities as your President during the year.
