S
Spring is here. It’s
the season of new
beginnings
and
transfor mations.
With more sun-
shine and daylight
savings time, there
will be more fes-
tivals and outdoor
activities in sight.
Students and fami-
lies alike will enjoy a little reprieve during
Spring Break. There will be a lot to smile about. Houston is blossoming with more economic
growth, jobs and diversity. It is projected that
Houston will expand by 3% this year, according
to Oxford Economics. International commu-
nity is helping to fuel the development.
Savor a Spring mix of culture, religion and
commerce in the coming months. In March
we celebrate International Women’s Day, where
women all over the world are recognized for
their social, economic, cultural and political ac-
complishments. Don’t forget to wear green on
St. Patrick’s Day, a day when the foremost pa-
tron saint of Ireland is spotlighted. First day of
April brings Easter. Be kind to our planet on
Earth Day. Let’s build together ...
International Focus (iF) Magazine supports busi-
nesses and professionals from Houston and
abroad. People from different countries, work-
ing together removes barriers, creating peace
and harmony. Mutual trade and shared ideas
improve confidence and foster healthy relation-
ships.
