This World Citizens Peace Conference held at the University of San Francisco from August 2-5, 2005 has drawn people from all over the world. It has given opportunities to many great leaders that espouse peace to come together to share the sisterhood and brotherhood of peace. All Islanders Gathering As One were able to perform and highlight the contributions of Polynesians towards World Peace. John Nauer the President of All Islanders Gathering As One spoke about the contribution of youth towards World Peace. San Francisco's Mayor Gavin Newsom was invited but was a no show. It is a shame that the Mayor cannot choose those important events that are important. I suppose his priorities lie elsewhere.
