Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening,

First and foremost I would like to officially congratulate you New Year and all the happy holidays that are yet to come!
Unlike the previous article I will try to keep this one short.
I would like to inform my swiss citizens and allys that 7 days of the project “Christmas treasure hunt” have passed.That means you have roughly 21 more days to try and find the hidden treasure, and I wish you all the luck you can bare.



Honestly, I was quite surprised by the interest in participating, in a very positive way.I have enjoyed talking with a lot of Bulgarian and Indonesian participants that had some troubleshootings and I am still looking forward to this kind of conversations.

Surprisingly, only after 2 hours of the article`s publication I received my first and for now, only winner.
For now his identity will be kept secret of course.
Here is picture of his application.

There are a lot of smart and deductive contestants involved, and I believe that more winners will come forth.



Obiosly this project has been well received by the people of Bulgaria and Indonesia, as here are links to their articles respectively:
Translated and published by: Kaloyan Strashni - Minister of education in Bulgaria

Translated and published by: Alex Rival - President of Indonesia


Unfortunately, despite my efforts, the chilean minister of education was not able to participate in this project from reasons still unknown.

There was also a lack of interest by Macedonia too, but with a justified reason.They had several major domestic and foreign problems, and they were focused on them all the time and did not had time for relaxation.
Special thanks to Nonconformist mkd for his collaboration with us, and to svetecot for his recommendation.
You can find his article here.
Thank you Nonconformist mkd!



America may have uncle Sam, but we have uncle Rican.Today he started the primary CP elections and its your obligation as swiss citizen to vote.You can read more here.



This will be my last article as MoE for this month as I have only 3 more days, although the project “Christmas treasure hunt” will continue as the funds are already secured.When the project ends I will reveal all winners to the public, and I will publish all records of the funds.


I leave you in full heath,
eSwiss Minister of Education
