Hi Folks,
Last week.....
We heard from Jeremy Wood from Cambridge Rotary on the subject of Peace Poles. (Pic by Allan)
The Peace Pole program had its beginnings in 1955. You can now find Peace Poles in close to 200 countries and more than 200,000 have been placed around the World. Our aim is to distribute 100 Peace Poles for 100 years of Rotary sponsored by 100 Rotary Clubs, with each pole will be numbered 1 to 100.
Peace Poles are planted with the Universal Peace Message “May Peace Prevail on Earth”. They symbolise our common wish for a World at Peace. They stand as a silent vigil for peace reminding us to think and act in the spirit of Peace. The Peace message is written in four languages one panel on each side of the Peace Pole.
A SPECIAL MESSAGE ABOUT OUR PARTNER SCHOOL GIRRAWHEEN SHS
