He emphasized that peace is not merely the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice, opportunity, and service to others. He highlighted that Rotary\u2019s programmes, ranging from community development and youth leadership to international exchanges, are all rooted in fostering dialogue, cooperation, and sustainable peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a call to action, Assistant Governor Ormond urged members to renew their personal and collective commitment to peace and understanding. He encouraged Rotarians to embody Rotary\u2019s values in their daily lives by promoting tolerance, dialogue, and friendship within their homes, workplaces, and communities. He further challenged clubs to intentionally integrate peacebuilding into every service project, noting that all initiatives, whether focused on health, youth, or vulnerable families, can help foster understanding.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2646957465\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>He also stressed the importance of engaging community partners, including schools, churches, and youth groups, in honest conversations about conflict resolution and harmony, reminding those present that peace begins with dialogue. \u201cIf we each take up this charge,\u201d he noted, \u201cthen together, we can make Antigua and Babruda and indeed the world more peaceful, more connected, and more compassionate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>World Peace and Understanding Day commemorates the founding of Rotary and celebrates the organization\u2019s long-standing dedication to advancing international goodwill.
