Awareness: Creating awareness and spreading the word happens to be another best way to help a cause. At OSP, we firmly believe that and we have held numerous events int he past with the sole purpose of spreading awareness. OSP holds booths in events targeted to general public such as conferences and open festivals to actively spread the word.
