A Heartfelt Vote of Thanks

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have participated in this 15th International FOKANA Convention. I hope this convention will go down in the history of FOKANA as one of the most successful conventions. I hope that all the participants enjoyed your time here in Houston.
