Unveiling of Peace Mala community artwork

Having been to Peace Mala events in both Terrace Road School and Brecon Cathedral it was a pleasure to visit Peace Mala HQ this morning in Morriston, the former Tir Canol Post Office. Pam Evans who founded Peace Mala has transformed the ground floor of these premises and the garden into a multi-faith centre with shrines to each religion.
We were privileged to be joined by pupils and teachers from Central School, Port Talbot, Hafod Primary, Penllergaer Primary and Terrace Road Primary to unveil a piece of artwork especially commissioned for the garden from the pupils of Terrace Road and artist Katie Kneath.
I was joined by the Deputy Mayor and Mayoress of Neath Port Talbot, Morriston Councillor Andrea Lewis and the High Sheriff as we were entertained by songs by the pupils before we unveiled the artwork.
The High Sheriff then cut a rainbow cake to commemorate the event. It was a lovely occasion made better by the fact that the rain held off for much of the proceedings.
