Switzerland National Convention

This weekend I went to Bern for the National Convention of Switzerland…



Because there are 3 official languages in Switzerland, the organization involves getting interpreters for the event. They are wonderful; they work really hard in a bubble that becomes a Sauna …


We have a nice evening program for Saturday. There are some talented youth that played instruments and sing, even write songs… So they show a couple of their song and we saw the video for the Winter School done at the time by the Film workshop (click on the link to see it …)

Counselor Dr. Azimi and Mr Mrs. Semple.


Some things never change, like organizing prayers and becoming at the last minute the official photographer… So I'm proud to introduce you the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Switzerland.

John-Paul & Patricia Vader
Robert and Edith, the first Bahá'ís I met when I first arrive in Switzerland. They keep a close eye on me, just like parents do :-) …

Here I am with the team that organize the National Convention...




Eastern

I spent my first eastern with my sisters and their families. It was nice see my nephews and nieces running around looking for chocolate bunnies...

And we also celebrated Yoan 16th birthday…


And what is eastern without Rabbits... This is Sandy, isn't she lovely...
