Closing Remarks delivered during ISA’s 20th Anniversary Banquet
When the committee on the 20th founding anniversary cultural show had decided to reflect the 20 years journey of ISA in the form of art, where ISAers, facilitators and even parents render songs, perform dances and skits, I know the cultural show would be nothing short of a spectacular production. For the simple reason that the journey ISA has gone through in the last 20 years is an epic. Yes, it was such a drama, a novel, it was magnificent, impressive in grandeur, extent and conception, true enough, the 20 years history of ISA is a long narrative poem recounting the heroic deeds of countless personalities. These heroes first of all are the generous and visionary founders and the dedicated frontline mentors, then you have the promising learners and their ever-supportive parents.
And, I know the cultural show would be a pronouncement of the closing of a chapter, and the opening of a new chapter. A new chapter where we are confident that those who are destined to play a major role in the continuing saga of this educational institution will “Stay True to It Original Aspiration and Founding Mission”. And they move on carrying with them the aspiration and mission.
