Last year the Peace Run team was invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon.

Delighted to participate once again, our team joined the Cape Town Marathon organisers, this time in a series of events leading up to the marathon that was to be held on the 23rd September. With "Peace" at the forefront of all its initiatives, and in particular using sport as a tool for social change, the events organised through the Cape Town Marathon's RUN4CHANGE Legacy Program were extended to include visits to schools with the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run team.

Zimasa Primary School

Our scheduled visit to Zimasa Primary was unfortunately delayed by about 2 hours as the team flying in from Johannesburg were grounded due to technical issues on board the flight. By the time we arrived the wet and rainy Cape Town weather also didn't permit all 1400 students to gather outside in the school's courtyard, as originally planned, but we were still heartily welcomed by a smaller gathering of students in their computer laboratory, as seen in the photos.
