Rome

Reported by Dipavajan Renner, Stefano Cenni 7.0 km

Bienvenuti in Italy! Our team arrived happily in Rome for the 2015 edition of the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run.
Our first meeting took us to the "Santa Chiara" primary school.

A very warm welcome...

..we asked the children to feel peace in their hearts. These boys proved to be real friends...

...also the stuff took a group picture...

...a great musical performance by the whole school!

...the final stampede...

Thank you for the great meeting!

...on the way to the next school...

A perfect welcome in the "I.C. Via G. Messina" primary school...

Who are these guys?

The children guessed our nationalities in no-time...

Teo got under pressure...

The Run took place in waves by age-groups...

...at one point two groups collided due to a false start...

Thanks for your enthusiasm!

...this is THE road in Rome to run: Via Appia Antica - the mother of all roads in Europe!

The last meeting of the day: "Maria Montessori primary school".

...even the scare-crow has a heart of peace - made by the children...

...the setup was perfect!

...the kids gave us perfect smiles...

...a few children did great drawings: (the editors favorite: a giraffe shaking hands with an elephant)

...who did which drawing?

The highlight: the planting of a peace (olive) tree!

What a nice meeting! Thanks for giving us the feeling that we are a world family!
