img_reading67_01.jpg I was very glad to perform reading in front of wonderful audience including those who are from Madagascar and Mauritius.  At the same time, I felt strong sense of responsibility as a performer to deliver the messages. Mr. Jean P G Aznar, Ms. Brigitte Pellat, Mr. Metwally Gamal, and Ms. Vera Levy helped me with French translation. Ms. Vera Levy, my friend in Paris, took a part of reading in French.
