Greetings from the Patron

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the ADB Spouses’ Association (ADBSA) members who generously share their time and effort. It is a great honor to serve as Patron of ADBSA, and I am delighted to be part of such a warm and dedicated community.

One of our greatest strengths is the rich tapestry of cultures and backgrounds that makes ADBSA so vibrant and special. In a world facing heightened geopolitical tensions and global challenges, the connections we nurture become even more meaningful. By promoting cultural exchange and mutual understanding, we enrich our own lives and strengthen the bonds that unite us.

I would also like to commend our members for their significant contributions to ADB’s core mission of reducing poverty. Through tireless fundraising and charitable activities, especially in our host country, the Philippines, you have helped improve countless lives.

Thank you again to every ADBSA member, and special thanks to the ADBSA Board for your leadership and commitment. I encourage everyone to take part in our upcoming events and activities, and I look forward to meeting more of you at future ADBSA gatherings.

Best regards,

Fumie Kanda
