Fariha! Wow!! I was just going through the “transcript”! Very VERY well done! Excellent! I will be making the videos available which we grabbed from the web cams up in their different sessions, so anyone wishing to get the full, passive stream, can do so.
We DID make everyone applaud for Jehan Ara even though she was out of the country at the time, but I noticed her comment here so I’m so glad that she could watch it!
Thanks again!
