Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy of non-violence in the face of aggression is an enduring symbol of hope for leaders and grass-roots campaigners alike in defeating the growing number of hostile forces threatening the modern world, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said today.

In a message marking the third annual International Day of Non-violence, observed on 2 October in honour of Mr. Gandhi’s birthday, Mr. Ban said that Mr. Gandhi understood that a powerful idea could change the world.

+ I'm having some fun at The Abundancetrek Travel Blog. I've begun a series of posts on Exploring Upstate New York, on Germany 2010 (We are planning a trip!) and Wandering Around the Planet, an imaginary journey covering the whole planet. For some reason it begins at Red Square. Then we go to a bunch of national parks which I have actually visited. The next "Wandering Around the Planet" post can take us anywhere on the planet. Any suggestions?

You can easily browse down The Abundancetrek Travel Blog and see what I've been up to.
