A Few Words About Us
The Peace-Tree Project is part of the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run: a global torch relay that embodies humanity’s universal aspiration for peace.
Since its inception in 1987 the Run has traversed over 150 nations and territories and touched the lives of millions of people. We estimate since 1987 the torch has been carried over 395,000 miles (632,000 km). The Peace Run does not seek to raise money or highlight any political cause, but simply strives to create goodwill among peoples of all nations.
A Peace-Tree serves as a permanent Reminder,
and it Grows!
Here, the children of Hurley School on the Southwest Side of Chicago participate in the Peace Run with a tree planting in 2012. Year after year, a special peace ceremony is held here. On the right is that same tree today!
