Six runners from the World Harmony Run organisation are in the Faroe Islands these days. They are travelling around Faroese schools, telling pupils about their work, which is to promote peace in the world. They do this by running with torches all around the world, and now also between villages in the Faroe Islands, where everyone is warmly welcome to run with them.
The six-strong group is being hosted (partly) by FÍF. They come from Poland, the Czech Republic, Scotland and Iceland, and are part of a European team travelling around the countries with this torch run for peace. Their schedule was thrown off somewhat by the bad weather on Monday, when they ended up in Haugesund. As a result they arrived in the country a day late, but already on Wednesday morning at 8:30 they were at Velbastaður school, where they ran with all the children. Yesterday they also visited Eysturskúlin.
