immediate family, friends and career and how she, Eti and Ratna felt very strongly that even though they were in a desperate situation, this is where God wanted them to be. Dr Rebekka will accompany this brand new pulsating production and there will be time for
questions at the end. Saturday 23rd February, 7.45 pm at
