My fellow Pelicans, the Covid-19 global pandemic has changed our lives and in many countries across the globe, we, as well as our fellow alumni are facing lockdown to flatten the curve once again. This Christmas will be celebrated differently – but do remain positive, continue to safeguard your physical and mental health and remember that HOPE is not cancelled and that if we lean on each other, we can cope.

Let us show our consideration and caring more than ever, every day from now on; and make sure that the lessons learned in 2020 – of the importance of equity, understanding and climate action - are nurtured and enhanced in 2021. Enjoy the Holiday Season!

Sincerely,

Celia
