Greetings always,

I just want to say thank you for your support and everything you are doing for me and I really really appreciate it. I am very grateful and happy for you. I war you to know that you guys are always in my heart and my thoughts. I am always praying for you that you are well.

However, I just want to say thank you for your support, it's only God who can reward you. I will just keep on praying that he continues given you guys blessings. I was one of those who were dancing at the celebration of the Golden Jubilee for Zambia's Independence at the national Hero's Stadium. The performance started at 23:00 and I was in Act 3 where we danced to spell different things like the national flower and a drum. After that we all came together on stager to make something like 1964-2014. I love my mother country, Zambia. The program ended there, and I really enjoyed it.

From,
Tasila
