SAFAAS (South Asian Federation of AOTS Alumni Society) was established to seek the common goals among AOTS Alumni Societies in the South Asia region. On 16 and 17 December 2011, the 9th SAFAAS Convention will be held in Kathmandu, Nepal, with 150 delegations representing from 16 AOTS Alumni Societies in 6 South Asian countries – Bangladesh, India, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. AOTS Top Management will also participate in the Convention. During the Convention, they will discuss about the latest issues including promotion of the inter/inter-regional collaboration and coordinating activities with AOTS in the region, and also organize Youth Leadership Workshop for the next generation leaders of the AOTS Alumni Societies. Besides, in combination with the Convention, the World Network of Friendship (WNF) Management Committee Meeting will be held to promote WNF activities as well as fundraising events. The results of these events will be reported to you by AOTS secretariat via web-based KENSHU Magazine in March 2012.

5. AOTS Column
“Fall seven times and stand up eight,” Japanese proverb, literally means that stand back up when life knocks you down since life is full of ups and downs. I think this proverb also has the meaning of “keep trying until you succeed” in a sense. Accordingly, human resource development may be of great value in developing ambitious people who can stand up eight times.
