Although the schools in Iran haven't started, on the occasion of
the international day for peace and to commemorate the victims of
1999 Taiwan earthquake, some of the Godsiye High School
students as a part of the NDYS2006 gathered together at school to
plant a tree in a unique global event.
They planted a cypress tree: an evergreen tree with dark leaves
and hard woods, symbolizing values such as freedom and
resistance in our literature. Our tree also reminds us of the past
when the region was covered with cypress once upon a time many
years ago. It also reminds us that it is essential that we have to
make up for all the trees we loose or use. That tree would be our
contribution to encourage and motivate everyone to care for our
world.
