Peace run in Africa
The Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home peace run is currently travelling through the great continent of Africa. The run has already visited South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia, and in coming weeks, the Peace Run team will visit countries, such as Zimbabwe, Kenya, Burundi and Ruwanda. A full itinerary can be viewed here - Africa Peace Run
The Peace Run team comprises international volunteers from Africa and around the world; the aim of the run is to spread the ideals of friendship, peace and harmony. It provides a dynamic way for people to share their aspirations for peace and a better world. Young and old have already enthusiastically embraced the Peace Run as it makes its way around Africa.

A great feature of the Peace Run is the spontaneous meetings. Many people see the flaming torch and join in for a while, as the run passes by the side of the road.

The Peace Run team from around the world give a presentation of the run, founded by Sri Chinmoy in 1987.

The run has been greeted with much enthusiasm by local people.

The Run also passes by the natural beauty of Africa. Here Lake Tana, at sunset (which provides 80% of the source of the River Nile.)
