In addition, Mr. Fernando Espinosa, Chief Chancery of the Embassy of Mexico had the opportunity to see our 1^st place winning artwork of Sofia Guadalupe Gonzalez Garcia.  He was so pleased and proud to see his countries winning artwork.

 

 

We are always so grateful to our youth for participating in our annual art contests. We could not make this happen without the young people, their families, schools and all those who support them.

In addition to the art exhibition, Dagmar led a World Peace Flag Ceremony in which the people in attendance said “May Peace be in *country* – May Peace Prevail On Earth.”   Many people said MPPOE in the language of their home country.  There was music and great speeches were given.  It was said to have been a beautiful and most successful event.

We thank Dagmar of May Peace Prevail On Earth International (Germany) for bringing Peace Pals International to Switzerland and always honoring our children.
