Today we had the privilege of celebrating Firdavs 15th birthday!

It was a lovely day filled with balloons, a lovely cake made by Fanbo and Martin (with the guidance of Fanyang) and – at the request of the birthday boy – an evening of flashlight tag!

This morning myself and the boys went on a beautiful Sunday morning bike ride as part of the training for the Leman Journey Adventure!

A little informational session about safety from Mr. Mike!

And away we go!

This lovely, sunny Saturday, I took Emir, Eduardo and Henrique away into town to handle some basic errands. Our initial journey took a longer turn once I found out that they basically only knew one street in town: Rue de Rive…

What started with a quick jaunt up through the old town over to Parc des Bastions ended at the Jardin Botanique! We walked over 22,000 steps (Emir said that’s the most he’s walked in one day in his life!)

You can juuuuust see us

I wonder what put such lovely smiles on their face?

After all the times over the last two years that his mother recommended for him to come here, Emir finally visited the UN!

Today we had the privilege of celebrating Fanyang’s 16th birthday!

He had a lovely day, with balloons in the morning, a lovely early dinner with some of his close friends in afternoon, and a surprise cake with the Concha lads in the evening!

Some early morning wishes

A lovely dinner in Geneva!

We had the cherry cake for the first time, it was delicious!

Another evening of reading goes by!

We also took the opportunity to celebrate Martin (12th of April) and Joao’s (25th April) that we unfortunately missed as they were during the break!

This evening we celebrated the birthday of our very own Tim!

For tonight’s International Dinner we enjoyed some delicious Venezuelan Cuisine!

Spot the Roner!

So delicious Vincent had to close his eyes

We hope you have all had a lovely Spring break.

With the spring buds opening on the trees and wild flowers blooming all across the lawn, Concha is looking quite colorful!

Keen observers will notice a certain something is open!

Joao, Eduardo, Henrique and Emir spent some time on Sunday afternoon with the amazing Ms. Rym in the Champs des Bois garden, helping her take apart some pallets, prune some trees, dig up some soil…and jumping on the trampoline!

Get those branches outta here Edo!
