GLH Core Activities
July 2025:
We are honored to announce that the University of Melbourne is now the GLH Regional Hub for Oceania. We would like to thank the devoted Virginia McNally for her unwavering support. It is our hope that GLH's message and family will steadily flourish through this important 1,000-year project. See the partner page to follow their activities.
July 2025:
It is with great pleasure that we welcome the University of Costa Rica as the GLH Regional Hub for Central and Latin America. We are especially thankful to Dr. Gerardo Avalos without whose passion and commitment to the hibakujumoku this milestone would not be possible. We are looking forward to collaborating with him and his team to spread the message of peace and resilience with more partners in Latin America, which can pride itself in the Treaty of Tratelolco, safeguarding the region as a nuclear-weapon-free zone. The Hiroshima and Nagasaki trees will surely thrive happily there. See partner page to follow their activities.

Gavin Tritt, Executive Director of Oberlin Shansi, visited Hiroshima to meet with Shansi partners at UNITAR, GLH and ANT. At the GLH secretariat he met with coordinator Nassrine Azimi, Mariko Kikuchi as well as Sophie Qano who has been working at GLH as part of a 2-year Shansi fellowship. They later visited the stately Himalayan Cedar gifted to the Peace Memorial Park by former Prime Minister Nehru.
