Jean Beliveau in Cagayan de Oro

Before we started our Day 2 of BMC in Malasag, we decided to take part of the event where the local officials will be sending off a French-Canadian who walked (and still keep walking) around the world, Jean Beliveau.  His goal is to walk around the planet to promote “Peace and non-violence for the profit of the children of the world.” He is travelling alone with a three wheeled stroller to carry a bit of food, his clothing, a First Aid kit, a small tent and a sleeping bag. Jean plans to walk across all the continents, from North America to South America, then across to South Africa, up to Europe, then the Middle East, South and Eastern Asia, Australia, New Zealand and finally back to Canada. Please visit the site wwwalk.org for details.
