It is indeed my pleasure and privilege to welcome you all to the City of Houston, America’s fourth largest city, a city with sunshine as bright as home!Today is a great day in the history of Ovum and I am proud to be part of this history making event. The first time we thought about a meeting of all Umu Ovum in the Diaspora, the first question that came to my mind was
WHAT WILL WE BE MEETING FOR? Will it be just another OCL meeting as we do at home or is there going to be anything different? This led me to ask the question: WHY ARE WE HERE? Why did we come? Of course people may have different reasons for coming.
