Thank you Party
Golden Agers represent a dynamic human capital resources. We work in full force to empower Golden Agers to become a new force of social change. In fact, the success of the 4th Expo & Summit was the concerted efforts of over 600 volunteers of different ages, bearing testimony to the rise of this new force. To show our gratitude to them, we organised a "Thank you Party" for the volunteers. A lot of exchanges and networking were made. All had a fun and memorable evening.
