Hi Richard, So we have had a few Affiliates from Africa shown interest in this session and so we are proceeding to create a meta page for our event.
I wanted to know if the resources available to the Asia-Pacific event would also be available for our use. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Regards, Justice.
