The Cozumel real estate<\/span><\/a> region has always had the benefit of being situated in a safe, peaceful setting. In recognition and celebration of this, Cozumel, named the Island of Peace, has been preparing for a world-wide project calledChild, Sea, Peace and Cozumel As a part of the project, this summer the city is flying the Flag of Peace and launching the ship “Zamn , which will embark on a 5 month journey to various parts of the world, delivering a message of peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Message of Peace<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CozumelThe journey is delivering a message of peace to the world from Cozumel, and focuses especially on peace for children. The captain of the ship, Vital Alsar, explained that the general purpose is to dignify the human race.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The island of Cozumel<\/a> was chosen as the starting point of the journey, as an ideal ambassador of peace, since there has been no war on the island since ancient Mayan times; the Spanish Conquest did not bring any conflict to the island, nor were there any pirate invasions or uprisings on the island. Alsar explained that in the present age, full of war, disease and violence, it is Mexico s obligation to show that it can send the greatest gift to the world;the peace which it needs to avoid allowing a few self-centered people drag the world into an abyss The message he wishes to deliver is that we wereborn to create, not to destroy and that this mandate will triumph.<\/span><\/p>\n

To celebrate the beginning of this journey, and officially accept the name Island of Peace, Cozumel is flying theFlag of peace, which it raised on July 10th<\/sup>. The flag is located behind the stage of the open-air theater in Quintana Roo Park. The International Peace Flag Organization was involved in the ceremony, which was founded by the internationally recognized artist<\/span> Nicholas K. Roerich, and supported by the doctor and actress Alicia Rodriguez Fernandez. The non-profit organization has been recognized by the United Nations for its peace work in various countries throughout the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

The message of this project and journey will, of course, draw a large amount of attention to <\/span>Cozumel real estate<\/span><\/span> as an ideal destination to live, and to the tourism industry of the town. This benefit complements the opportunity which the residents of the island are taking during this project to deliver their message of peace to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manuel Diaz Rubio, a businessman from Yucatan<\/a>, has been in charge of the project. Diaz and Alsar mentioned that they are very pleased that Cozumel is participating and hosting this project, and that the ship will be leaving from this port, and returning to the same port at the end of its journey.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While the journey of Zamn is promoting peace on a general basis, there is a specific emphasis on peace and safety for children. For this reason, a child between ages 10 and 12 from the fishing families of Cozumel will be accompanying the voyage as an ambassador of peace, representing Cozumel s and Mexico s wishes of peace and harmony in the ship s destinations along its epic voyage. The child will be placing peace flags in schools at each destination.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several children will be sharing the role, in order to guarantee that one of them can always be present, and that the children can accompany the voyage in shorter sections, making the commitment more manageable, demanding less time and energy for each child. A teacher and other support staff for the children will be present on the voyage to help them continue their studies during this time, and feel comfortable and secure.<\/span><\/p>\n

History and Itinerary of Zamn <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The captain of Zamn , Vital Alsar, has more than 40 years of experience, and is the son of fishermen of Spanish origin, but also with Mexican family. Diaz says that the idea of building Zamn was conceived by Alsar eight years ago, and began to take form in 2004 through private donations. The actual construction of the ship began in June, 2008. He added that their belief in this dream has finally led to its reality. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The ship, its captain, a crew of 12 members as well as the child and support staff will embark on a journey including visiting 3 continents North America, Europe and Africa on a journey of 15,000 nautical miles, stopping at 15 different ports. After leaving from Cozumel, the ship will stop over in Miami and New York in the United States; Asturias, Santander , Bilbao, C diz, Barcelona, Mallorca in Spain, Lisbon in Portugal. Next the ship will head to Ostia in Italy, Tunis in Africa, Alexandria in Egypt, and Piraeus<\/span>,<\/span> Greece as its furthest destination. On its return journey, the ship will stop at Tenerife in the Canary Islands, and finally at Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic before returning to Cozumel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Construction of Zamn <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The ship is made of 12 different types of tropical wood, and has a length of 110. The ship was designed by the captain, Alsar, and Oscar Camareno, who is in charge of the team of ship-builders and carpenters from Alvarado, Veracruz responsible for the construction. The ship is a work of art that is authentically Mexican. Diaz commented that the building project would not have been possible in a different part of the world; it is being built by Mexican hands, and the builders are putting their heart into the work.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the project is truly Mexican, the structure of the ship reflects the international message that Zamn will carry. The structure shows traits from Phoenician, Egyptian, Greek and Mayan styles. A particularly strong connection is made between Mayan style- representing the ship s departure point – and Greek style – representing the furthest destination; while the window frames are made in the Mayan style, the stained glass are both Greek and Mayan in their depictions. The prow of the ship is decorated with a dove, created by a Mexican sculptor to represent world peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cozumel<\/span> is, and has always been, an island of peace. Cozumel real estate<\/span><\/span> enjoys the benefit of a safe, peaceful destination for people from all over the world; these same residents are sharing this privilege with world, as they send Zamn and its crew to various destinations. This projectChild, Sea, Peace and Cozumel truly shares the spirit of Cozumel with the world.<\/span><\/p>\n
