Rotary club plants peace poles in Uganda
The Rotary Club of Brisbane Water has planted four "Peace Poles" at the Divine Mercy Primary School in Buwampa, Uganda.
The club worked with the Rotary club of Njeru on the project.
The poles featured peace messages in four languages, said Brisbane Water Rotarian Ms Sue O'Neill.
In English, it stated: "May Peace Prevail on Earth".
In Kiswahahili: Amani iwe ulimwenguni. In Luuganda: Emirembe gibeere ku nsi. In Luo: Kuchi bedi iwilobo. Kwe obedi epinyi.
Ms O'Neill was in Uganda for the planting.
She said the initiative was inspired by the Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin, which invited Rotary Clubs to become involved in a joint Rotary Centenary project by donating peace poles to primary schools.
The aim was 100 Rotary Clubs, 100 Schools for 100 Years of Rotary in Australia, she said.
