Dear Mégane, Haifa and all,
Sorry to say won't be able to join you in body this time, as much as my
soul is with you.
I am In the final stages of my doctoral work and also tired to beg for
money,
that other participants have at their disposal to cover for their expenses
which is not my case.
Wishing you all the success you deserve!!!
Fraternally yours
Abrazos
Azril
PD: Looking forward to your report! I continue to support the WSF process
from my small corner in the world.
