A Growing Community

WorldWalk-Peacetour have struggled to build a community around its mission. Although they never were alone, the size of the community never reached the “critical mass”, and the members were more like fans and friends than actively participating members. That's why we tried and try to open the boundaries of the WorldWalk community, this is a process we have put our hope in.

And though the process is slow it already looks promising. People are faving and commenting our images at flickr, some have joined our community pool as well.

Ferenc and István Ivanics have already made some friends at Facebook and MySpace. WorldWalk-Peacetour now have a profile at CouchSurfing, we expect to be able to find a way to help the boys getting a shelter during the coldest winter days in southern Spain. You can help them, too, by joining these communities or spreading the word about them. Feel free to post a comment here on your further ideas that might help.

And finally the WordWalk-Peacetour team is trying to contact organizations and other communities that are related to peace missions, traveling around the world, walking long distances. With their permission I will quote a kind letter from Derek and Carolyn from the PeaceWalker Society. Thank you all!

Greetings, Ferenc and István.

Congratulations on your world walk for Peace.

The Peacewalker Society is happy to accept you as honourary members. We have put a link to your site on our Resources/Who’s walking page.

To walk for Peace is an honour and a great privilege. We are confident you will continue to show by example and by your commitment that we are all one family on this very fragile planet. If the people lead, the leaders will follow.


May the road before you carry you to places you have never been,
And the steps you take move you in ways which nourish your soul.


Derek & Carolyn
