    Madanah Auguiste is an amazing orator in the making! Congratulations to everyone who made her success possible especially her parents and teachers and of course the organizers of the competition. Hats off to ALL the students and teachers from the other participating schools; it takes a lot of courage and effort to stand in front of an audience. “Success comes when preparation meets opportunity.”
