Talking with astronaut

Last month I participated in a program that has been organized by Maryam ( So I want to be an astronaut ) called '' talking with astronaut '' sponsored by Kuwait amateur radio society. The program was at the Scientific Center in Salmyia with some students from different schools. We had 3 days of rehearsal. We were trained on how to ask some questions to astronaut Jeff Williams abroad the ISS ( International Space Station ).
The day of the contact was 28th June, it was an amazing day when I spoke with the astronaut, all the media came to take photographs and make interviews with students. Here are some pictures:
