Vaasa

Reported by Lauri Tervo 15.0 km

Last day in Finland. We started running eagerly toward the first school to meet the students.

On the way to the school there were some relatives to greet us

The students had school on Saturday but the program was easy and mainly sport and lunch. So the Peace Run event was perfect for them.

Brothers!

Vaasa Keskuskoulu was the next school where the eager students were already waiting for us.

After us the school was visited the Motorbikes movements agains the school bullying.

We greeted Jaakko Yli-Suomu who has been working for the Blue Road idea tirelessly. He told us many interesting stories about the Blue Road development over the years. At the end we sang him Finland -song composed by Peace Run founder Sri Chinmoy.

And the journey continues next to Sweden...
