Plantingtree in International school in Geneva

 

I was in Biel. It was the first night which I arrived there and Renate told me they are going to a birthday party that evening. I joined them also to meet more people and know new people as well. It was all fine and we had a lovely chat. I met Alison that night and we discussed a bit about my project while she excitedly giving reaction about weneedtrees. I was quite surprised and happy.
Next day I received an email from Jan who is a teacher in international school in Geneva asking if I am heading there or not, or if I can visit their school? He said which last night I have met someone in a birthday party who sent the email to Jan introducing me!! Very kind of Alison.
I had another International school also but I planned to visit La Châtaigneraie which is Inetrnational school of Geneva. He came to pick me in the morning and we went to school together around 8:30 and straight away we started our work.
I had 5 different classes all day which was wonderful and we discussed about different things including environmental problems, trees, poverty and some other things which I believe all human being should be concern about it. many thanks to Alison who made this connection and also Jan who followed it up. I am grateful.

Last Update About Me

6 November  2025

 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.
