Ahmed D. El-Mekkawy

amr and ghada, thank you

amr and ghada, thank you for your enthusiasm. I am glade that you guys want to participate in all these sessions.

However, since we are going to have concurrent sessions, I don't think it would be a good idea to have more than one sessions for a single person. I think it should be one person per session.

Also, we need more people to participate! There were about 10-12 people in the last meeting, and they said they will help with the sessions!

Thank you again, guys :)
