2021 International Day of Peace Invitation
The The Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin and Rotary District 9705 cordially invite you to a virtual ceremony to celebrate the International Day of Peace.  The event will be held on Tuesday, 21 September 2021 at 12:30 pm. Registrations are required and must be received no later than Friday, 17th September 2021.  Click on the blue button on your left to register.
 
Canberra Burley Griffin Rotary  is partnering with the United Nations Information Centre for Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific to organise this very special event.  
 
The Keynote speaker is - Australian Diplomat and singer/songwriter Fred Smith.  Fred has just returned from Afghanistan.  He has had an exceptional career.  In 2016, Canberra Times writer Sally Pryor, wrote the following about Fred Smith:
 
"When Fred Smith was a toddler growing up in India, he would scoff when his parents tried their Hindi out on him. At three, his Hindi was better than his English, and much better than his diplomat father's. He was also aware of two very distinct worlds in his very young life: that of the domestic servants, and that of his family.  Four decades later, this awareness of different worlds, and of the multiplicity of worldviews, is a crucial factor in Smith's own diplomatic career.
 
Once described as "Australia's secret weapon" in international diplomacy, he was the first Australian diplomat to be posted to Afghanistan's Uruzgan Province in 2009, an experience that he turned into a highly acclaimed album of songs, Dust of Uruzgan."
 
The following links take you to… Fred singing “Dust of Uruzgan” and Fred's website and Fred's Facebook page.
 
The International Day of Peace is the one day each year that all World Peace Bells are rung.
 
The ceremony will include the announcement of the winner of the Chief Minister's Rotary Peace Prize. The Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin makes a donation of US$1,000 to the Rotary Foundation and the recipient is named a Paul Harris Fellow.
