[HWPL] HWPL's Peace Forum held in Madagascar!

Chairman ManHee Lee is the head representative of the global peace organization HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light), which is striving for the enactment and implementation of the international peace law 'Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)'. The  DPCW is a legal instrument comprised of 10 articles and 38 clauses that can end wars and hostilities throughout the world. HWPL is also spreading a culture of peace and implementing peace education.

Chairman ManHee Lee experienced the cruelty and tragedy of war as a veteran of the Korean War. This is one of the reasons why he founded a global peace campaign as the head of HWPL. He has traveled the globe more than 35 times to meet and persuade politicians, legal experts, journalists, professors, peace activists, civil organization leaders, heads of tribes and others to unite them for the work of peace. The significant fruits borne out of his hard work are the World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Summit and HWPL Peace Committee. The DPCW was drafted and finalised by the HWPL Peace Committee.

How, you may wonder, do I know this? About 10 years ago, when I had just been discharged from military service, I came to know HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee while researching the topic of civil conflicts to satisfy my curiosity in ongoing global issues. At that time, the island of Mindanao in the Philippines was suffering from a major civil conflict that lasted more than 40 years, and Chairman ManHee Lee and HWPL resolved this conflict through non-violent means.

Chairman Lee brought an end to the conflict in Mindanao by holding a peace talk between the warring Catholic and Islamic groups. Before the talk, HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee held a Peace Walk to spread the culture of peace in Mindanao with the many locals who had gathered out of a desire for peace.

Chairman ManHee Lee's pressing appeal today is that humanity unites for sustainable peace in order to pass on the legacy of peace to future generations worldwide. He doesn't just talk peace, but has worked tirelessly for it through practical peace campaigns for over a decade.

I decided to become a supporter of HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee's peace initiatives because I also desire a world of peace for all posterity.

Today I'd like to introduce an article regarding HWPL's Peace Forum in Madagascar :)

‘Building a Better World Together’, HWPL Peace Forum Held in Madagascar

On April 29th, a peace forum was held at the National Institute of Accounting, Science, and Business Administration (INSCAE) in Madagascar. Organized by HWPL, the event was co-hosted by INSCAE, one of the most prestigious universities in Madagascar. The peace forum was attended by 200 participants from various sectors, including former ministers of labor, employment, public service, and social law, government officials, members of parliament, educators, civil society organizations, women’s groups, and youth organizations.

The event was divided into two parts: the main session and sub-sessions. The main session, titled ‘HWPL Peace Forum: Building a Better World Together,’ included a ceremony where a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between HWPL and educational institutions actively collaborating with HWPL in Madagascar. The sub-sessions focused on discussions among participants from different sectors to promote peace initiatives.

Among the institutions that signed an MOU with HWPL were INSCAE, which co-hosted the peace forum, and 14 public elementary schools actively collaborating in the ‘HWPL Peace Library Project’ since 2023.

The sub-sessions included a media session titled, ‘Peace Journalism Workshop: The Role of Media in Conflict Resolution,’ a youth session on ‘Empowering Youth: Self-esteem, Winning Attitude, Respect for Each Other,’ ‘Volunteerism as Tools for Development,’ a religious session on ‘Harmony in Diversity: First Peace Football Cup Discussion with Religious Leaders,’ and a women’s session on ‘Establishing the Women’s Peace Committee.’ Each session aimed to form working groups in respective fields with the common goal of promoting peace initiatives in collaboration with HWPL.

Harimino Rakoto, general manager of the National Institute of Accounting, Science, and Business Administration (INSCAE), stated in her speech, “In order to contribute to inclusive and equilibrated economic growth, INSCAE offers a modern learning environment which provides future graduates excellent skills so that they can take advantage of business and job opportunities in the context of diversity. And events such as today’s event shall also create a great environment for the students in this university to learn in a wider view.”

Former Minister of Labor, Employment, Public Service, and Social Law of Madagascar Hon. Richard Jean Bosco Rivotiana attended the peace forum and expressed his support for HWPL’s peace activities. “With all the days I’ve been working with HWPL, their activities have made tremendous progress,” Rivotiana said. “And the forum today was a very progressive event as well. With all I can, I will support HWPL in their activities when they need me.”

HWPL Global4 Branch Office: Promoting and Volunteering Activities for the 6th Gijang Bada Marathon Tournament

On April 28th, over 100 volunteers from the HWPL Global4 branch participated in volunteer activities at the “6th Gijang Bada Marathon Tournament,” held at Osiria Question Mark Park in Gijang-gun, Busan. The HWPL Global4 branch volunteers provided various forms of assistance throughout the marathon, ensuring that participants could enjoy the event safely and comfortably. They also introduced HWPL’s peace activities to the participants and encouraged them to join. As a result, dozens of participants pledged to support HWPL’s peace initiatives as HWPL members.

The volunteers managed baggage storage for runners, guided the start of the race, operated water stations to hydrate runners, distributed medals and on-site certificates after the race, assisted with stage events, and ran a service center to deal with any inconveniences. Their efforts covered all necessary areas to help the marathon run smoothly and allow participants to focus on the race without any discomfort.

After the marathon, the volunteers concluded their activities by cleaning up and sorting trash around Osiria Question Mark Park and four water station areas, ensuring the environment around the event venue was left spotless.

An official from the HWPL Global4 branch shared their thoughts on the volunteer work, stating, “We felt a sense of reward seeing many marathoners across the country enjoy and find happiness in the marathon event. Our volunteers assisted with water station management, distributing on-site certificates, and event operations, and we were so happy to help wherever needed.”

Hyuyun, the head monk of Yeonhwa-sa and the committee chairman for the Gijang Bada Marathon Organizing Committee, expressed gratitude towards the HWPL Global4 branch volunteers. He acknowledged that their dedication and efforts were crucial for the smooth operation of the marathon tournament.

1st Bangsamoro Peace Education Conference

Last May, in order to implement HWPL Peace Education throughout the Philippines, the HWPL Philippine branch announced peace education textbooks for the provinces of Southern Leyte and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, including Laguna Province. This aims to establish a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Philippine Department of Education and implement peace education on a national level.

Earlier, the Department of Education in Southern Leyte compiled localized HWPL peace education textbooks and conducted pilot classes for this purpose. This initiative was inspired by the localized peace textbooks for Bangsamoro, which were announced at the Bangsamoro Peace Education Conference held last January.

On January 29 of this year, the “1st Bangsamoro Peace Education Conference” was held at the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Complex in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Muslim Region in Mindanao, Philippines, co-hosted by the Department of Education in Cotabato City and HWPL. During the conference, localized HWPL peace education textbooks, incorporating Islamic values, were introduced. The presentation demonstrated the potential for integrating HWPL peace education into moral and social subjects and showcased effective methods for implementing textbooks across all grades, from Grade 1 in elementary school to Grade 12 in high school, through demo classes.

▲ Division workshop on the Contextualization of HWPL Peace Education 12 Lessons in the Schools division office of Southern Leyte, Schools Division Office of Southern Leyte

The Peace Education Conference was attended by a total of 668 participants, including five high-ranking government officials such as the Minister of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education of Bangsamoro, 50 principals of elementary, middle, and high schools under the Department of Education in Cotabato City, and approximately 613 faculty members.

In January 2020, HWPL Philippines signed a MOA with the Schools Division Office of Cotabato City and conducted the “HWPL Peace Education Contextualization Workshop in Mindanao.” However, the initiative was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The peace education initiative resumed when officials from Cotabato City participated in HWPL’s 9th Anniversary of the World Peace Summit on September 18, 2023.

Upon resuming the project, the Schools Division Office of Cotabato City, with active support from the local government in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region and the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity, began compiling the HWPL Peace Education textbook, which includes 12 lessons for students from 1st grade of elementary school to 3rd year of high school. Fifty-two teachers participated in the textbook compilation and conducted three contextualization workshops. The completed textbook resulted in 211 instructional materials, which were presented at the conference.

In the future, the Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education (MBHTE) will validate the textbook and, upon completion, distribute it to approximately 4,000 schools, providing peace education to around 1.26 million students in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region.

Giving Hope to Children for a Better World of Peace

– Dinner Invitation for Children Affected by the Guinea Oil Tank Explosion –

On May 24th, in the Conakry region of Guinea, a volunteer activity was conducted under the theme ‘Giving Hope to Children for a Better World of Peace,’ targeting children affected by the oil tank explosion in Guinea. This event was organized in collaboration with HWPL Global 5 Branch and Guinea GSP Antag Plus, and with the help of six volunteers from GSP Antag Plus, food was provided to a total of 2,000 students.

In the early morning of December 18, 2023, a fire broke out due to an explosion at the petroleum storage facility in the Kaloum area of Conakry, where most of the refined oil imported by Guinea, a country that imports all of its petroleum, is stored. This explosion caused various degrees of damage to nearby residents, who continue to face livelihood difficulties even after the explosion.

Issa Bah, the CEO of GSP Antag Plus, who is the first HWPL peace educator in Guinea, shared the situation in the Kaloum area with HWPL Branch 5 and co-planned a volunteer activity for children, the targets of peace education and the future of the country. They visited Soloprimo Elementary School in the affected area, introduced HWPL, and explained the purpose of the volunteer activity, providing hamburgers and drinks to about 300 students and snacks to about 1,700 students.

The students, who listened to the explanation about HWPL’s peace activities, all shouted “We are one!” together, expressing their gratitude for the helping hands that reached out during difficult times. This volunteer activity provided an opportunity for the staff and parents of Soloprimo Elementary School to experience HWPL peace education.

Issa Bah, the CEO of GSP Antag Plus, who co-hosted the event with HWPL Branch 05, said, “I believe this volunteer activity will serve as a foundation for HWPL’s peace activities in Guinea in the future.”

HWPL Global 9th Branch Held the 11th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace in Incheon

“Peace Born from Sacrifice, Toward a Universal Value Transcending Time”

On May 25, 2024, HWPL Global 9th Branch held the 11th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace with the theme “Peace Born from Sacrifice, Toward a Universal Value Transcending Time,” at Wolmido in Incheon. This event was sponsored by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs and co-hosted by HWPL Global 9th Branch and the Korea War Allied Nations Friendship Association. About 300 citizens of Incheon, including members of the Korean War veterans group, attended the event.

The Korean War was a tragic conflict that broke out in the mid-20th century, bringing the horrors of war to the Korean Peninsula and the international community. This war resulted in millions of casualties, leaving a divided nation and a wounded people.

HWPL Global 9th Branch stated that they planned this event to commemorate the sacrifices of veterans who fought for peace on the Korean Peninsula without regard for their own lives and to remind us of the value of peace that we, as their descendants, must pursue today.

Yoo Byung Chu, President of the Korea War Allied Nations Friendship Association, shared his experiences as a student soldier in the Korean War and said, “Beyond remembering history, I believe it is now time to leave the value of peace to our descendants by achieving a peaceful Korean Peninsula. I hope that, together with peace organizations like HWPL, the global community can unite to lay the foundation for a peaceful world.”

Monk Daeun of Yongcheonsa Temple, an invited speaker, stated, “I believe that religious leaders have a duty to guide civil society toward peace and harmony rather than conflict and strife. I hope today’s event will foster more active communication between different religions and expand HWPL’s and civil society’s peace activities across the Korean Peninsula.”

Dong-Mun Shin, honorary president of HWPL Global 9th Branch, explained the purpose of HWPL’s establishment and stated, “Members of HWPL Global 9th Branch will continue to move forward without interruption, and I will lead efforts to spread awareness of the spirit of sacrifice demonstrated by countless young men and student soldiers during the Korean War, beyond Incheon and throughout the Korean Peninsula.”

On this day, HWPL Global 9th Branch also presented letters of appreciation to war veterans, recognizing their service and sacrifice to leave peace as a legacy for future generations.

One member of IPYG who attended the event shared their thoughts, saying, “Remembering the history of the war and learning its lessons is essential to prevent future conflicts and build a peaceful world. I am grateful for the peace achieved through sacrifice and will continue to engage in peace activities to expand peace as a universal value.”
