Ya Ali Madad,

It´s been nearly one year since our lives have changed drastically. We had to learn a new reality and a new way of living. Even though there have been moments of despair, there were also moments of knowledge and gratitude.

The novel coronavirus COVID-19 taught us that life isn’t linear and that at any moment everything can change. Our most valuable asset is, without a doubt, good health.

Unfortunately, during this pandemic, we lost some of our dear loved ones and the goodbye was not properly said due to the new rules. But we need to be at peace with it and pray for their souls.

It is even more important that we continue to follow our government measures and contribute to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.

As we approach March, there are two important dates to be celebrated: International Women’s Day and our New Year, Navroz.

International Women's Day is an occasion to celebrate the progress made towards achieving gender equality and women's empowerment but also to critically reflect on those accomplishments and strive for a greater momentum towards gender equality worldwide. It is a day to recognize the extraordinary acts of women and to stand together, as a united force, to advance gender equality around the world.

Navroz is the day of the vernal equinox and marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It marks the first day of the first month (Farvardin) of the Iranian calendars. The moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator and equalizes night and day is calculated exactly every year and families gather together to observe the rituals.

Let us look forward to the New Year and new wishes for the year ahead.
