Lei of peace gifted to Christchurch

Almost 8000 kilometres from home, the six delegates from Hawaii stood in front of four plastic bins on the border of Hagley Park - directly opposite Al Noor Mosque where 42 people were killed.

Inside the bins sat eight sections of lei - one for each mosque, the hospital, police, St John ambulance, Victim Support, Ngai Tahu, and one for the city of Christchurch.
