"Today I would like to thank and grateful to the members who worked untiredly and helped throughout this 20 years. Specially my wife Grero sacrificing her life totally for your benefit. I must thank the teachers, staff and support staff who were with us in this long journey. A lot of gratitude for academic and non academic staff who helped us from the beginning. I am really proud of the 20 years in service.
