To the entire community, I wish you a Merry Christmas. May this celebration, marked by encounters and sharing, strengthen the bonds that uplift us and inspire the best in each of us. May these days allow us to slow down, rest, and appreciate the small yet great moments that life offers us every day.

Best wishes for a joyful festive season and for a New Year filled with health, peace, and hope.
