Next stop was Cairo Elementary School
We were greeted by enthusiastic students. Here playing the guessing game. Where is Mexico in the map???
It's always nice to take a moment of our busy day to feel peace in our hearts, to calm us down and share our peace with others around us. The students did an excellent job in offering a few seconds of silence for world peace. I hope they never forget that Peace Begins with each of us.
