This is an opportunity to encourage the young people in your local community to think about the importance of world peace, tolerance and international understanding, and to pass it on. Encourage these young people to share their unique visions with the world, through pictures.
There are many responsible young people who are very aware of our world, what is good, and what is not so good. As a sponsoring Lions Club this is one way you really can ‘make a difference’.
