Since 2008, the Manos Friendship Torch is being passed from volunteers to children, from teachers to students, and from city workers to village farmers. Each time the Manos Torch makes it's way full circle around the world, it's given a make-over by volunteer artists, representing the kind of growth and change Manos itself aims to transpire and embodies our mission: "uniting the world through the sharing of cultures, ideas, and education."
