The Yearly GlobeDay 22 October at Nämdö Island in the Stockholm Archipelago
We went two hours by boat to Nämdö island for the Yearly GlobeDay. 45 young and old gathered at HEMBYGDSGÅRDEN. The program as usual: Reports of events during the year that passed and plans for the coming year. We were welcomed by the vice chairperson of Hembygdsföreningen and then the LAUNCH OF GLOBETREE NEW WEBSITE! Peroy has been the boss of the work and told the many ups and downs in the process. Assisted by Sam and Kajsa in endless writing and looking for information in old files stored – somewhere…! We celebrated Peroy and the website!
A film of the Study Tour Elin and Rania made a film when they joined a study tour to Kenya. The film share their deep concern for children in Dandora and how much fun they had together! The film got a lot of applause! Working together with water in schools is getting more and more interest in Swedish schools. Peter Nolbrandt from Mark and Lasse Johansson from Varberg work together and shared their cooperation with facts and singing. We recalled last year GlobeDays when children from 25 nations came together from five continents to give ideas for the Children’s Meeting Place at UN, Nairobi (Kenya). Four young girls are still engaged and said the meeting place at United Nations must have an Under World and an Above World. Kajsa has initiated a project called the 4 Elements of Water, Fire, Wind and Earth on Nämdö which was visualized by Clare Lindstrand living on the nearby island. A Sami Legend of the Creation of Life was told by Harriet Nordlund who is the author and story teller. Support for Globetree programs come from Solidarity Days at schools and Lars Lagergren introduced Gift Vouchers.
