About Roya Klingner:
I was born in 1970 in Tehran, Iran. About 30 years ago, the first president of The World Council for Gifted and Talented
Children, Dr. Iraj Broomand, started a program for gifted and talented children in Iran. At that time, I was a little girl,
who was different from other children of the same age. I was able to read and write at the age of four, and I had a very good
memory. My kindergarten teacher noticed my giftedness and advised my mother tosend me to Dr. Broomand’s school.
The time in that school was one of the best in my life and full of happiness and joy. After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, our
school was closed and our world changed. I had to visit a normal, regular school. I was really unhappy, cried every day, and asked
my mother if I could study at home. At that time, I was nine years old. I decided, then, to help gifted children when I grew up.
All the time, year after year, country after country, home after home, fate sent me from Iran to Austria and then to Germany.
Nonetheless, I followed my dream and never lost sight of my goal.

I founded the BavarianCentre for Gifted and Talented Children onNovember 1st, 2008. A dream came true! Together for a better world
for Gifted and Talented Children.

About Secondlife:
Second Life (SL) is a virtual world developed by Linden Lab that launched on June 23, 2003, and is accessible on the Internet. A freeclient program called the Viewer enables its users, called Residents, to interact with each other through avatars.[1] Residents can explore, meet other residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities, and create and trade virtual property and services with one another, or travel throughout the world (which residents refer to as "the grid"). Second Life is for people aged 18 and over, while Teen Second Life is for people aged 13 to 17.
