The members of BRIDGE CLUB have a common dream to achieve “Peace and Co-existence” throughout the world by promoting “respect and understanding” amongst all people. BRIDGE CLUB members also strive towards a strong network of “Global Citizens” free from religious, political and economic constraints.  To promote this dream, we spread our “Visions of Harmony” as the common activity for 2009-2010, sharing our cultures and the APCC experience with people around the world.  Led by the Peace Ambassadors of the 2009 APCC, this photo exhibition will travel around the world until it returns the Fukuoka, Japan for the 21st Asian-Pacific Children’s Convention.
