President of Bolivia spoke at flag off of the March and at end of March. Pity that I seemed to be the only Zamsof in agreed attire of national colours scarf! SASF Band had been put as of the first list of musicians to at the first concert but was replaced with Brazilian band. A Zimbabwean band of 4 played also. But there are concerts daily at university and in different locatioçns
