[APAC-Discuss] [ALAC] APRALO Update

[Rinalia Abdul Rahim]

Hi Holly.

Minor correction: I offered to connect KT with UNESCO, which may help him
with resources that could be helpful for the webinar and other matters
related to indigenous community issues. This action has been completed.

Best regards,

Rinalia
