鹽湖城報導─如果一個年會有特色的話，那就是以扶輪家庭成為最叫座，它是個一萬平方呎磚造的和平之屋展覽會場，乘列在友誼之家裡，可以看到不同年齡的孩童在玩遊戲，爬牆和學習了解和平磚砌屋。

Salt Lake City — If there's one convention feature that is scoring a hit with Rotarian families, it's the 10,000 square-foot Bricks House of Peace exhibit displayed in the House of Friendship, where kids of all ages are playing games, climbing walls, and learning about the building blocks of peace.

扶輪社員和他們的孩子們群集在一起玩迷你高爾夫球、Wii遊戲機、氣墊曲棍球和許多其他的遊戲。他們同時也會拿著刷子在2007年鹽湖城籌備委員會所豎立的16 X 32平方呎的和平之牆上繪出各自的和平留言。猶他州5420下屆總監迪恩•傑克森及其夫人瑪琍斯靈感是來自剩餘的柏林圍牆藝術品，為年會帶來扶輪國際社區有創意的表現。

Rotarians and their children are flocking to play miniature golf, Wii, air hockey, and a host of other games. They are also grabbing brushes to paint personal messages of peace on the 16 x 32 foot Peace Wall erected by the 2007 Salt Lake City Host Organization Committee. Dean L. Jackson, District 5420's incoming governor from Utah, and wife Marlys, inspired by the artwork on the remains of the Berlin Wall, wanted to bring the same concept of creative expression to Rotary's international community for the convention.

〝我們將創造出一項讓孩童們能公開及有創意思考及表現他們和平像什麼的概念之環境，〞傑克森說。〝這是一項獨一無二的文化及國際的機會去使整個世界在短短的時間內，到一個地點並且開始以最簡化及基層層次方式來作和平的對話。〞

"We are creating an environment for children to openly and creatively think and express their concept of what peace looks like," says Jackson. "This is a unique cultural and international opportunity to bring the world to one spot for a short period of time, and to start the dialogue of peace at its most simplistic and grassroots level."

這和平牆將會很快地成為一個填滿多彩多姿的彩繪及和平留言的萬花筒。來自斐濟首都蘇瓦的11歲的依利娜•波里斯在與她朋友玩過氣墊曲棍球之後，她自己發現牆的小小角落並開始繪畫。

The Peace Wall is filling up fast with a kaleidoscope of colorful drawings and messages of peace. After playing air hockey with her friend, Elena Pleass, an 11-year old from Suva, Fiji, found her own small corner of the wall and began to draw.

〝我認為和平就是一切事物，〞波里斯說。〝我們現在就應該開始來談論和平，因此我們就不致於在一個不好的世界中成長。〞

"I think peace is everything," says Pleass. "We need to start to talk about peace now, so we don't grow up in a bad world."

這不僅是小孩們的遊樂場所，大人們也找時間來加入孩子們的行列，一起玩遊戲和用他們自己的語言彩繪這個和平之牆。傑克森覺得這對身為父母們鼓勵其子女成為和平的創始者是很重要的。

This isn't just a kid's playground. Adults are taking the time to bond with their children by playing games and adorning the wall with their own messages. Jackson feels it's crucial for parents to encourage their children to become peace initiators.

〝我希望這間和平磚砌屋能結束老一代的扶輪與未來的扶輪世代間的距離，〞傑克森說。

"I want the Bricks House of Peace to close the disconnect between older Rotary generations and the future ones," says Jackson.

所有的遊戲用品，電視及傢俱將在年會結束後捐贈予當地的猶他州普羅瓦男女孩童俱樂部。至於這些磚塊及和平之牆，傑克森希望它成為未來扶輪國際年會一個永續保存的項目。

All the games, TVs, and furniture will be donated to a local Boys and Girls Club of Provo, Utah once the convention is over. As for Bricks and the Peace Wall, the Jacksons hope it becomes a lasting legacy at future RI conventions.

〝和平之牆必須與時改進。和平之留言也必須切題與參與，〞傑克森說。〝因為有這麼一個地方，孩子們將會來參加國際年會，他們將更能了解扶輪和有助於帶和平的留言給未來扶輪世代的人們。〞

"The Peace Wall has to move with the times. The messages of peace have to be relevant and evolving," says Jackson. "Because of this area, kids will want to come to RI conventions. They will be able to better understand Rotary and help bring the message of peace to future Rotary generations."
