HEAT Training / 8-12 April 2019

”Gun pointing at my head, I am scared but calm.

That morning, when the regular checkpoint turned into a nightmare, I somehow remained calm. Everything I learned at Salanga’s HEAT training somehow came back; it kept me present, accepting the situation and following orders.”
