New Zealand 19 October 2005: South Auckland
On the third day of the World Harmony Run in New Zealand we carried the torch to three schools in South Auckland.

We ran over the old Mangere Bridge.
Making a wish for harmony at the first school…

Pip’s introduction was based on a well known Maori proverb:
“Maui e mai
He aha te mea pai
Maku i ki atu
He tangata, He tangata,
He tangata, He tangata.
Aha koa
Maui e mai
He aha te mea
Nui o te ao
Maku I ki atu
Rangimarie
Rangimarie
Rangimarie.”
“If you ask me
What the most important thing is
I will tell you
It is people, It is people,
It is people, It is people.
But
If you ask me
what the greatest thing
in the whole world is
I will tell you
It is harmony, It is harmony,
It is harmony."

As the World Harmony relay team entered the third school visited today, two runners from the school took turns taking the torch around a circle of students. On the second time around we followed, exchanging high fives and low fives all the way.

They led us into the school hall where more students were waiting for us. The hall had been transformed for the formal ceremony they had organised. There was a yellow finishing tape at the foot of the stage which we ran through while everyone applauded. The stage was decorated with flags from around the world.

Speeches were made and lots of poems were read out about the importance of world harmony.
