How to punctuate and write multiple words or phrases
Please help me with these. How would you puntuate and write the underlined parts? Should we add the conjunction "and" or "or" in between?
1. Our vision is to see every person, in every age group, in every nation to have the opportunity to succeed in life.
2. Whether you are single or married, a student or child, a man or woman, we have something to offer you.

Hi. Thank you very much. Would it be wrong to put the conjunction "or" after the comma and the word "child" in the no. 2 sentence? Then I think it would read (in a long version): Whether you are single or married, whether you are a student or child, (or) whether you are a man or woman, we have something to offer you.

Not grammatically wrong, but then you have the confusion of two 'or's - in addition to the two other 'or'. Altogether too many 'or's, I think.
