00:00 Peace prevail on earth in different languages on each of its sides. Our peace
00:11 polls display the message in 20 different languages representing the
00:16 diverse northern suburbs community. In 2019 to celebrate the lead-up to the
00:23 Australian centenary of Rotary in 2021 the Rotary 100 Peace Poll project
00:29 was begun. The first of those a hundred peace polls was planted at St. Vincent's
00:36 Primary School in the Australian Capital Territory and unveiled in June 2019. The
00:44 goal of a hundred peace polls around Australia has since been well exceeded
00:49 and we now have 300 peace polls in schools and community areas. The peace
00:55 polls we are unveiling today are numbered 312, 313 and 314. We thank Masahisa
01:06 Goi, the founder of this movement. Planting Peace Polls follows Rotary's
01:11 fourth avenue of service, the advancement of international understanding, goodwill
01:16 and peace. Thank you and enjoy your day.
