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!
