part of the calls are as below:
The inspiring words of mother Fatemeh:
This is mother Fatemeh, I am calling from Iran. I wished I could have attended your telethon with some bouquets of flowers but It did not go on as I desired. But since contribution to this event is the most priority of human responsibility, I moved from town center to a smaller house at the suburbs and I present what has remained to you, just as the bouquets flower.
