Planting tree in Montessori school in Zurich

 had an old friend in Zurich who I was willing to meet after 6 years. I met her first in India 6 years ago and it was wonderful to meet her again in Switzerland.
I asked her to find a sschool for my project but it was quite hard as it was the last week before new year´s holidays and people were so busy and not very interested to get involved to any other things except their own things.
finally just on the last days before holidays start we could find a school through another friend ( Balz ). Balz is a teacher in Montessori schoola nd they accepted to have us for our workshop and tree planting.
we went there an hour earlier to have lunch which was good enough to have some chats with teachers and afterward we started our workshop in open space where kids use to play.
I was surprised to see them all staying there and participating while they could just run away and play in play ground. it brings me a big hope for the future which kids are going to the wonderful directionand we can keep a big hope for the future.
many thanks to Anna, Balz, Rachelle and all wonderful teachers who helped us and of course all those lovely kids.

 I finally left Colombia after 3 months. It was an amazing experience and I enjoyed it a lot. Normally every year I go back Iran to visit my mom but last year I was not able to do so. At the moment I am in Istanbul airport waiting for my connection flight to take me to Tehran. I will stay there 2-3 days before I go to Mashhad to visit my mom.
