Hope this issue finds all of you in great health and happiness! When choosing the theme for this month’s issue, I was thinking of how I have always derived great happiness from meeting and learning from people all around the world. This month, we celebrate International Day of Friendship, which the UN commemorates on the 30th of July. As someone who has done research on the subject of Social Identity, this topic strikes very close to heart. Over the past few years, as my professional life has expanded, I have had the opportunity to network and build connections with people all over the world and from all walks of life. I can confidently say that this has been a very enriching experience and has definitely played a role in the kind of action I have taken in various issues.
