A Message from Hang Nguyen

Dear Members!

The world as we know it has changed dramatically in the last few weeks. We are at war with an enemy, invisible yet extremely dangerous and it has already claimed thousands of victims around the world. The virus is destroying global economies and livelihoods leaving millions and millions of people without jobs and income.
