  2. About the person (introduction) • My uncle Ian Goerge Jennings is my dad ‘s friend ,who was born in England and had to move to different countries.

  3. Birth and Education • He was born on 3rd of March in1946 in Leeds in England. • He was the second child in his family and he grew up happily with his brother. • When he was 5 he started primary school in Leeds. But their parents moved from Leeds to Darlington so the secondary schooling was at Lady Lumley’s school in Pickering in North Yorkshire • Then he started his higher education in University of Portsmouth for his first degree ,and went to the University of London for his master’s degree in Architecture. • Later he found a job ,but he was not satisfied because he wanted to earn more money by getting a higher position and experiencing new .At that time there were no projects in the U.K .In 1974 he decided to migrate.
