ANST - Reflections of the ressurection battle

[Maleah Farasha Raushana bint Abdullah]

In my humble opinion it is occaisions such as this that breath the life
into our dream. If one person walks away saying "It was so real, you
could feel the heart beat and touch the past we have succeeded well.
	Wish I could have been there.

Again Count Sir Simon, I thank you for one of my moments,
Hasheika Maleah
