Sanya is thirteen years old and she currently lives in Westborough. She attends Westborough Middle School and she is in the eight grade.

I would like all the children here today to understand what Hazrat Abbas (AS) did for Imam Husayn (AS) and how loyal and dedicated he was to the Imam (AS). The children will learn about his sacrifice and loyalty in the battle of Karbala as I speak about the day that he was martyred.
