WELCOME SPEECH FROM PROJECT OFFICER

ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM

It is truly an honor to not only welcome all of you to come to Bengkulu in SOVED 2016!

As we all know that SOVED which stands for Sumatra Overland Debate is the initiative of all Sumatran debaters coming from long time ago. This initiative is as the form of the awareness of Sumatran debaters relating to the urgency of promoting Sumatran debaters' uniqueness and differences from other debaters from different regions in Indonesia. Also, it is about the importance of building the Sumatran debater relationship for sake of future unity. Due to that, we have shown our hard work to make it real. Bengkulu now is waiting for you to come and join in SOVED 2016.

Last but not least, SOVED would not be successful without all of committee who are voluntarily helping to manage the event.
We can't wait to see you here!

Very warmest regards and welcome

Alheru Akbar
