It is my privilege to write again about Newcastle City for Peace initiative.

Peace comes when the world changes. The world changes when people who live in the world change.

We all want people to change so that we have harmony and peace in the world. I agree that people need to change.

We've made great progress so far

I am very pleased to write about Newcastle City for Peace initiative. Since declaration in July a great deal of progress has been made. As people and organisations learn about the declaration they write in it to express their wish to be included in the programme.

As I have written earlier, the peace initiative is for all. Everyone can play his role because everyone has capacity and ability to contribute to the programme, however small it may be.
