In right earnest.

Peace Boat, a Japan based international NGO and a non profit organisation, is currently at Kochi after they'd begun their global peace voyage on 24 Jan, this year. The group also included ten members of another non profit organisation called 'On the road' from Japan's tsunami - hit sectors. They'd come to collect goodwill and prayers!

They carried a portable shrine called 'Mikoshi' - divine palanquin - which is of dimensions 4mt x 1mt x 2mt to garner prayers for the fast recovery of tsunami victims who're still in the process of rebuilding their lives. The structure was decorated with numerous articles - blocks with writings in various languages received from well wishers - from places visited during the voyage.

Since its inception in 1983, Peace Boat has been in the process of raising awareness and building connections internationally among groups that work for peace, human rights, environmental protection and sustainable development.

This is a call straight from the heart! Here's wishing them fair winds, following seas and adequate water beneath their keel, always and every time!!
