Meeting October 18, 2009

Rooyesh Cultural Society had the opportunity to organize for an information session about Global Warming.

Amir Soleimanian, a student of Simon Fraser University (engineering), offered our members an excellent presentation about global warming and the challenges as result. Amir started learning about Global Warming as a student of Carson Graham secondary school in North Vancouver. He has attended several presentations and seminars while he actively updates himself about this very important topic.

Amir managed to speak in Farsi for us while his very interesting video in English was talked about in the meeting. Amir definitely impressed us with this video that he had created himself.

We learned about Cape Farewell project and how our responsibility for careful use of energy is increasing.

Thanks to Amir who taught us a whole deal about this amazing project. We wish him all the best.

In Celebration of Sohrab Sepehri

Rooyesh Cultural Society had the honor to have a session about Sohrab Sepehri and his life time art of promoting peace. In this gathering we had a huge turnout and we had the chance to listen to the mind-blowing poems of Sohrab by Mrs. Felora Talebi. This was a great opportunity to talk about a poet, artist, and humanist whose life has impacted millions of us. We learned how Sohrab was in love with life in the smallest details. Sohrab’s poetry describes life, people, nature, objects, art, and places.

Our next gathering will be on October 18, 2009 where we will listen to the Iranian Young people who will teach us about environment.
