Hi there Happy Idd to all the readers of the newsletter. We should try to avoid all the negativity around us and focus on every little success story. I know it is not easy but we shouldn't give up without a fight. Nowadays, social media platforms play a vital role in spreading news. So if you do come across any success story please share it with the community. It helps as morale booster. I would like to specially mention two stories this week, Andrew Solomon's survey results and actions taken and Dean's proposed community dashboard. Kudos to Andrew and Dean for taking the initiative. Keep it up. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
