Today we started at the "Montessori" school in Milano.
The kids were really enthusiastic to be part of the World Harmony Run. After we introduced the World Harmony Run the kids expressed their wishes for harmony while passing the torch.

Our next meeting took place in a beautiful park. We visited the "Comunità Exodus", a renowned no-profit association, dedicated to the pursuit to help people with drug addictions, especially young people.

The children painted a tree using their hands full of paint as a stamp.
