Meeting Under the Tree of Life

Members of the KCA Toastmasters club in the Kingdom of Bahrain held a uniquely themed meeting under the famed Tree of Life in the Arabian Desert on World Environment Day. The tree, more than 400 years old, stands alone on a hilltop surrounded by miles of sand with no obvious water source in the arid desert. It is one of Bahrain’s major tourist attractions, and for onlookers and visitors that day, the Toastmasters meeting in progress was a curious affair, while for club members it was a special experience.
