Walking for Global Peace

I learned of the Peace Walk during a Korean Language class at the Global Peace Center near my house in Jeju-si.

Really, it sounded interesting enough that I decided immediately that I wanted to participate in the two hour long walk and partial hike to Sarabong Mountain on World Peace Day, September 21, 2014.

World Peace Day is day designated for "strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and people" according to the website.  Really, it brings awareness to the state of global affairs and the countries where peace is lacking.

Have you seen the news lately??

A United Nations event, Global Inner Peace organized this day to be a peaceful walk of men, women and children showing up to support these ideals of peace in all nations.

We made several stops along the way and ended the day by writing our own wishes for continued peace our home countries and allowing these ribbons to blow in the wind, tied to a bridge at the end of our walk.

What a great day!
