Friends. This is a brilliant idea. But unfortunately the dates are too close the world youth meet in vancouver. The vancouver meet ends July 5, so that would not leave much time for people to get to Iran. And alot of youth wouldn’t be able to afford 2 such trips in such a short notice.
But its a great initiative and I will you all the best.
Are there plans for a congress or meet anytime later in the year or next ?
