As all Shalinis could not be present, so over 3,000 messages, from many others, were displayed at the venue fostering their involvement. Additionally, about 40 experts and young leaders as well as 15 well-known artists shared and sourced a pulsating exchange of thoughts, ideas, and know-how on women’s empowerment facilitating an effective and purposeful outcome for the programme.

We would like to thank the brilliant core-team of USF Alumnae as well as our many Alumnae Volunteers led by Mr. Ricky Surie (Chief Mentor, USF), who facilitated and conducted the events over the four days, each session unique and comprehensive, to utter perfection.
