Myanmar 16 January: Yangon
Today we visited Gitameit Music centre where students and teachers shared with us their heartfelt musical expression.
Their Choir presented a wide range of musical pieces from traditional folks songs to choral arrangements. Our singers also shared a number of songs composed by World Harmony Run founder Sri Chinmoy.
We were extremely honored to present UMoe Naing, on behalf of the school, with the torch bearer award.
We all came together for a group photo.
Everyone was eager to touch the torch.
