Lydia from the Post Bulletin came to the Rochester Boys and Girls Club to report on our arrival here. Sarankhuu has the makings of an excellent spokesperson for the Peace Run.

The children followed Ryan, the Supervisor here who carried the Peace Torch to lead the Peace Train around the playground.

We are very grateful to the Boys and Girls Club of Rochester for their kindness and enthusiastic participation here with us.
