How was 21st September

Well , it was a taugh job. I had to attend three schools ,one in north Tehran and the othe two in south west. At least one hour of driving between the two districts. We started at 8 oclock in Saba high school. First we went to the computer site and I gave the students the print of hi and hoe poem. They listened to Mika singing it and started to sing themselves. What was important was that they liked the song and after a few times of listening they improved a lot in singing it. Then I gave them Pen and paper and asked them to design a poster with peace , ENO and tree planting on it. After all of them participated in giving the ideas a few started drawing and the rest of us went to the yard. I asked the students to dig the ground. It was taugh for them. But finally they got to know how. They had prepared the hole that suddenly Mr Soltani who managed the school garden in Saba high school and loves his school yard garden reached school. We asked him to talk a little bit about how a plant should be put into the ground and how he feels about his Garden. The speech was impressing and finally the tree was planted at 10 A.M and the poster was finished too.
I rushed to Omrane Andishe high school . There the student had come early in the morning and had started painting their peace ENO poster on wall. It was great. Specially the way they were making the peace bird out of hankerchiefs. Well it was a big job. Today is 22nd September I am writing this post and they are still working on it.
We planted a walnut tree in Omran e Andishe. A small school with only 64 students but the level of what they do is quite high as they take world projects seriously and attend in it.
It was 11:30 when after taking photos I left for my official government school. Saba and Omran are private schools , but we should teach in a government school for 24 hours a week.
Here everything is different. It is a technical school and I teach technical drawing and telecom in this school. The students are happy and do not bother much about their studies. They take life easy. Well out of a group of ten only two students turned up. The leader was sick and when the cat is away the mice play. Any way, we planted a pamogranted tree in the yard and the clerks in the schools happily helped us.
This last tree was put exactly at 12 oclock local time in the ground.

And finally I made this blog for students to put their comments in it. I wish they start writing and participate actively for writing messages about peace and a green planet .
