Uist, Scotland
Scottish
Islands join the Peace Pole network.
The IDP was celebrated on 21st
Sept in the Scottish Isles, on Uist. The World Youth Congress 2005,
which was organised by Peace Child International and The Scottish
Executive, presented a Peace Pole to the community in Uist, a
gift from Hawaii.
Sheila Fraser, who delivered
the pole on behalf of the Congress, writes about the photo:
'There were about 50 people
there, which is remarkable for such a small community. As you
can see, the local school stopped to join in. We had to have
the planting indoors as the weather was very bad. The community
on the Island of Benbecula has plans for a community garden - that
they will start next spring. They are hoping that the pole will eventually
end up there, but over the winter be transported to all the islands
(including Barra) for appropriate events. The people of the Uists and Benbecula pass on their
thanks for the Peace Pole.'
