About
the attacks in Spain
On
behalf of the National Society for Hispanic Professionals
(NSHP) I want to express how saddened and angered
we are by the horrific act of terrorism on the innocent
people of Spain in March. NSHP joins America and the
rest of the world in condemning this heartless and
cowardly act, and in reaffirming that no cause justifies
the destruction and death of innocent people, such
as the hundreds of Spaniards murdered or hurt this
month. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to
the people of Spain and to all other victims of terrorism
in the world. For the many in the Hispanic/Latino
community whose heritage is grounded in Spain or who
have friends and/or family there, we especially feel
for their tragedy. NSHP will remain available to the
Spanish people in any way we can to help them through
this sad and painful time in their history.
With
my warmest regards,
Xiomara
A. Sosa
President
& CEO
