I believe dedicated members of Dehai have to be aknowledged for their
volunteer services and Dehai board members deserve that. There is
nothing great than working for something you believe in and that is what
Ephreme is doing at this time. Shouldering dehai's responsiblity is not
easy. I am sure Ephrem is a model for our young generation and a
dedicated leader for dehai community. You deserve to be congratulated for
your private achievement and your efforts to keep us float in the
cyberspace.
Please let us know if there are other members who have to be
recognized of their achievements.
What a good feeling?
