A step towards world peace.

Today we join together at the District Conference and centre stage on a number of occasions will be our Scholars - both those who are about to leave New Zealand and also those who have come to our country to study.

District 9940 has a proud history in recent tears with 5 Peace Scholars being accepted to train over seas.

All over the world, Rotarians are the key to finding the next generation of peace leaders. From Egypt to England to Ethiopia, this month Rotarians are busy looking for applicants for the Rotary Peace Fellowship and the future peacekeepers of the world.

However, there are still some corners of the world that do not have a Rotary presence. These areas are often the ones most in need of peace leaders.
