Greetings to all members!

BAHA´S GREETING FROM JORDANIA!

Dear friends, members and partners of the SMY. To those who don't know me, I am the chairman of the board of SMY since 2000. It was an honour to serve you all these years. However, my co-operation with the SMY will continue, from now on, only as an external advisory as I, regrettably have to leave my post at the end of this term. The reason is that I am immigrating back to the Middle East, named to Amman in Jordan to follow a career opportunity in the environmental field. I will be working with a NGO (non Governmental organization) on a project to assess and revive the river of Jordan. I will be missing the members and staff of SMY and hope that I can be of help from here, if needed. All the best! God Bless you!

Yours with the friendliest thoughts: Baha Afaneh.
