Workshop and tree planting in BandarAbbas

“It is February, I am in the south of Iran in Bandarabbas that spring has been almost started, fragrance of mango blooms can be felt everywhere, I am here to spread the message of ” we need trees” with school children, again lovely and innocent kids that can change their way of life, children are all the same, frank questions, funny reactions, freely laughing at some of my photos, I was in a class full of 10 or 11 year-old boys, they are full of energy and curiosity, I am telling them that why we need trees and why we should care about our climate and nature, they are asking me honestly and somehow funny but deep inside I know they got it, they were asking me where I buy food, where I sleep? what to do if I run out of money? it was hard to control them to just sit and listen to me but their positive energy was enough not to make me tired.
I showed them my photos, other countries that I had plant trees with children on their age, they were inspired to do it so after that pleasant presentation and better to say discussion with them we went out of the class and decided to plant a tree together , a banyan tree that is a native tree of the south, you can imagine 50 children that are competing with each other to grab the shovel !

Finally I said goodbye to Chile and I left Chile. It was an amazing experience and memories living n Chile and Argentina for 14 months. What a lovely people, amazing nature and a great oportunity to improve my Spanish and visiting Patagonia. 
I was planning to visit Iran but I couldnt buy the ticket to go to Iran, so I changed my plan and I came to Brasil where I can plan upcoming months of my journey. 
Now I am still trying to find out where to go next! Ecuador, Colombia or Mexic? which one will be my next destination? I will find out soon.
