On Wednesday, April 23, 2014, runners from around the world came to Tregaron to plant a yoshino cherry tree in honor of Sri Chinmoy (1931 – 2007) founder of the PEACE RUN.
Joining the runners, were students from the Oneness-Family School in Chevy Chase, MD. After a few remarks and a song by the runners, the students read two poems about trees and recited a speech by Chief Seattle. They also sang a song “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.” The plaque that will be placed at the base of the tree will read: “Sri Chinmoy Peace Tree, April 23, 2014: ‘A moment’s peace can and shall make the world beautiful.’ Sri Chinmoy”
