Dear Zaida,
Thanks once again for all your hard work in organising such a high-quality event which was of international standard.
It was especially pleasing to see how many young professionals & students were in attendance.
It speaks volumes of the interest in including wood as a viable & cost-effective material in traditional construction.
We need to change our traditional way of thinking and start embracing alternative solutions.
