Planting tree in Grovedale primery school in Geelong

Planting tree in Grovedale primery school in Geelong

When I arrived to Australia I contacted Red Cross and Mrs. Kylie Hay answered me. Since then I was in touch with Red Cross and she helped me to organized a school for tree planting.

On Friday 26 of July 27, 2008 we had an appointment at 8:30 in front of national office of Red Cross in Melbourne and I went to Geelong which a town 80km south of Melbourne for a workshop in Grovedale primary school.

Mrs…….drove us to the school and there we had a lovely class. I was surprised the way that the kids practice and how they learn practically.

Schools in Asia is totally different and kids just spend a couple of hours in the classroom and just learn some books. But the kids here in schools learn how to make what they learn. They had a small garden and even they had a worm farm and they produced worm and they sell it to make some money to improve their garden.

However there is a big gap between the education system in first worlds countries and third world or developing countries. It is easy to understand why western country grove very fast and third worlds countries still are busy with providing the basic for themselves.

However after our workshop we gave them a tree to plant. The next day was Australian national day for planting trees and they were going to plant a couple of trees.

Thanks Mrs. Pamela Heane for her assistance

کاشتن درخت در مدرسه ابتدایی گروداله در جیلانگ

هنگامی که در استرالیا بودم با صلیب سرخ تماس گرفتم و خانم کیلی هی[1][3][3] به من پاسخ داد.از آن زمان با صلیب سرخ درتماس بودم و او با مدارس برای کاشتن درختان هماهنگ می کرد. قرار ملاقات ما در روز جمعه 27 جولای 2008 ،ساعت 8:30 ،مقابل اداره ملی صلیب سرخ ملبورن بود. سپس من به گیلونگ که در 80 کیلومتری جنوب ملبورن قرار دارد ،رفتم .قرار بود در مدرسه ابتدایی گروداله کارگاه آموزشی داشته باشم.خانم … ما را به مدرسه برد .آنها کلاس زیبایی به ما دادند و من از  شیوه ی تمرین کودکان و اینکه چطور دروسشان را به طور عملی یاد میگیرند شگفت زده شدم.

 مدارس در آسیا کاملا متفاوت است. کودکان تنها چند ساعتی را در کلاس درس سپری می کنند و فقط تعدادی کتاب می خوانند .اما کودکان اینجا یاد می گیرند که چطور آنچه را که آموخته اند بسازند!آنها باغچه ی کوچکی داشتند و حتی در مزرعه ای کرم تولید می کردند و برای بهبود وضعیت باغچه شان آنها را می فروختند.با این وجود اختلاف زیادی مابین سیستم آموزش و پرورش در کشور های جهان سوم و کشور های پیشرفته ی دنیا وجود دارد .به همین دلیل است که کشور های غربی بسیار سریع رشد می کنند و کشور های جهان سوم همچنان مشغول تامین نیاز های اولیه ی خویش هستند.پس از اتمام کارگاه آموزشی ما به آنها درختی دادیم .روز بعد ،روز ملی کاشتن درخت در استرالیا بودو آنها قصد داشتند چند درخت بکارند.از مساعدت خانم پاملا هنا [2][1][4]متشکرم .

 After Retiro, I went to Barichara where I was planning to meet an Iranian friend who came to visit Colombia. Mehrdad also brought my tiers with him. So, no longer I am worried about my worn out tiers. 
After few days with Mehrdad and other friends I came to Cartagena by bus to visit Hamid, an iranian friend who lives in the US and is a professional traveler. 
I will stay with him few days before I go back to my bike to continue my journey southward.
