We believe when people work to create peace in their communities, that change can have a global effect. By carrying out service projects and supporting peace fellowships and scholarships, our members take action to address the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, discrimination, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Since the launch of the Rotary Peace Centres program in 2002-03, more than 1,600 Rotary Peace Fellows are advancing the cause of peace in more than 140 countries today. And soon, we\u2019ll also be recruiting fellows for a new peace centre in the Middle East and North Africa region as we begin working this year with a recently selected partner university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Being passionate to creates environments where peace can happen,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full coblocks-animate eplus-wrapper\" data-coblocks-animation=\"fadeIn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1469\" height=\"355\" src=\"http:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.28.01-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.28.01-1.png 1469w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.28.01-1-1200x290.png 1200w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.28.01-1-500x121.png 500w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.28.01-1-768x186.png 768w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.28.01-1-382x92.png 382w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1469px) 100vw, 1469px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">In view of the above,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full coblocks-animate eplus-wrapper\" data-coblocks-animation=\"fadeIn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1442\" height=\"366\" src=\"http:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.34.44.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.34.44.png 1442w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.34.44-1200x305.png 1200w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.34.44-500x127.png 500w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.34.44-768x195.png 768w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.34.44-382x97.png 382w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1442px) 100vw, 1442px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full coblocks-animate eplus-wrapper\" data-coblocks-animation=\"fadeIn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1459\" height=\"371\" src=\"http:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.37.02.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.37.02.png 1459w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.37.02-1200x305.png 1200w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.37.02-500x127.png 500w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.37.02-768x195.png 768w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u622a\u5716-2023-02-27-\u4e0b\u53484.37.02-382x97.png 382w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1459px) 100vw, 1459px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">While you are considering to participate in the above events or apply for the Global Grant to promote peace in the world, please spend <strong>1.5 minutes<\/strong> to enjoy the video about the program \u201cGo Organics for Peace\u201d carried out by Spencer Leung, a <strong>Peace Fellow sponsored by D3450<\/strong> ( <a href=\"https:\/\/rotary.webdamdb.com\/embedvid.php?embedAssetId=AAFZpAuVUrw0&amp;apm=0\">https:\/\/rotary.webdamdb.com\/embedvid.php?embedAssetId=AAFZpAuVUrw0&amp;apm=0<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube eplus-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Go Organics for Peace\" width=\"1019\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nOgvjj3VpdI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
