Happy 2001!
The number of activities engaged in by the Meguro UNESCO Association
reaches several hundred in a year. At the beginning of the New Year, why
not think about what you can do and what you want to do? You could learn
a language, or you could engage in a volunteer activity, spending just
a few hours a month. If you find time to offer for peace, please get in
touch with the chairperson concerned. Peace needs people who work for
it. We believe any small amount of time you can give will certainly become
a peace-torch to light up the world.
