I recently returned from the Rotary International Presidential Peace Conference in Istanbul where I spoke about Peace and Water Sanitation and Hygiene. The conference highlighted Istanbuls cultural harmony and provided insights into global peacebuilding challenges. I left with renewed hope for unity and a belief in the possibility of Peace reinforcing our District 6250s goal to become a Global Peacebuilder District in 20242025. I encourage those interested in Peace to enroll in the free Rotary Positive Peace Academy online course through our partnership with the Institute of Economics and Peace.
