By Rebecca Miller

WERRIBEE Primary School pupils Blake and Bella (pictured) greeted peace runners Varunavia Klabnikov and Prasasta Strong when they arrived in Werribee last week.

Ms Klabnikov, who is from Switzerland, and New Zealand’s Ms Strong visited the school on day 14 of a 112-day Sri Chinmoy Oneness Home run around Australia.

They will run 15,500 kilometres to promote peace.

The event, previously called the World Harmony Run, was first held in 1987 and has visited 140 countries. Details: peacerun.org
