Corporate events have always been a part of Lichi Translations DNA. At least once a month, we get together for a pampering breakfast on the beach, or for a fun filled day packed with excitement. I documented some of our activities in posts like “Meet the team leading Lichi to success“, “History, Agriculture and Roots“, […]
