AGV Trustee
A Word from the Honorary President
Dear friends and members of AGV Trustee,
I am happy to send you my sincerest thoughts and to thank you for your continued support of our association.
AGV Trustee is about Love, Generosity, and Life. We were created to be sensitive and tangible to the needs of the human heart, without borders or pretense, in order to safeguard human dignity.
I would like to warmly thank Mrs. Martine Wesolek, who accepted the presidency for 30 years with great enthusiasm and fervor, driven by her love for the people of Sri Lanka. I thank her from the bottom of my heart. I also thank Sylvie Championnat, secretary, and Philippe Championnat, treasurer, who did an extraordinary job with meticulous care and tireless dedication.
I thank all the members from all corners of the world and all the departments of France, who have been loyal and have deployed all their financial, physical and moral strength, especially during the tsunami in 2004.
I now turn to the new president, Mr. Syoginus ALOYSIUS, who has accepted the presidency of the association to perpetuate the momentum of love and generosity for the continued safeguarding of dignity in life.
I also thank Mr. Joseph PHILIPPIAH, who has accepted the responsibility of secretary and treasurer, to provide better traceability and transparency of the activities of the AGV Trustee.
I thank all those who collaborate with good understanding and deep trust for the well-being of all those who work in the AGV Trustee association.
Faithfully,
Your Honorary President,
Father Hilary Gregory.
