[HWPL] HWPL's Peace Educator's New Year's Gathering

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 Educators' New Year's Gathering :)

‘Education United in Love’
– 2025 HWPL Peace Educators’ New Year’s Gathering –

On February 8th, HWPL hosted the 2025 HWPL Peace Educators’ New Year’s Gathering. Under the theme, “Love Conquers All,” the event highlighted the role of peace education and peace educators in establishing global peace. A total of 822 educators from 65 countries attended, sharing past achievements and discussing future directions.

Despite ongoing global efforts to end wars and resolve conflicts, new threats continue to emerge, increasing instability. Complex factors such as military and economic tensions, post-pandemic recovery, climate change, cybersecurity, ideological clashes, misinformation and propaganda, migration and refugee issues, and the decline of multilateralism make conflict resolution challenging.

HWPL identifies human greed as the root cause of these complex issues and emphasizes love-based peace education as the solution.

HWPL is particularly focused on training educators worldwide as peace educators, appointing those who complete the training to actively implement peace education. Currently, 2,424 educators across 77 countries are serving as peace educators.

An HWPL representative stated, “Love restrains human greed and serves as the driving force for realizing peace. The role of peace educators is a crucial factor determining the future of humanity, and their dedication and efforts will be eternally recorded in history.”

HWPL awarded peace educator certificates to 15 educators in appreciation of their dedication to peace education.

Sabina Zakir, director of Community, and Communications and Outreach The Millennium Education Group and recipient of the 2025 Most Outstanding Peace Educator Award, remarked, “The Millennium Education Group shares the same goals as HWPL and is working together to achieve peace in Pakistan. For the spirit of peace, its importance is immense with us and our philosophy for Pakistan and for our religion.”

Zakir added, “So we will work more diligently to ensure peace in Pakistan, and hence globally, to all our students and staff. We have already trained with HWPL Peace Educators, and hence we’ll make a larger impact from the classrooms and our students. I am honored to receive this award and thank Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL, the honorary directors, and everyone who has joined us.” She concluded her remarks by exclaiming, “The most important message is, “We are one!’”

The peace educators present at the event pledged to continue collaborating to spread peace education globally. In 2025, HWPL plans to actively promote the training of peace educators worldwide and strives to further spread a culture of peace through peace education.

‘Together: Connecting Generations’
– A Generational Meeting with Veterans of the Korean War –

On January 23rd, HWPL Global 09 Branch and the Incheon Dong-gu Branch of the Korean War Veterans Association held a “Generational Meeting with Korean War Veterans” (hereinafter referred to as the meeting) at the Incheon Dong-gu Veterans Hall. This event was part of the “Together: Connecting Korea” campaign and served as an opportunity for veterans and young people to come together and promote understanding and communication between generations.

“Together: Connecting Korea” is a nationwide campaign organized by HWPL aimed at fostering sustainable development and social harmony in South Korea. It is conducted in four areas: “Connecting Generations,” “Connecting Cultures,” “Connecting the Future,” and “Connecting the People.” This meeting was organized under the theme “Connecting Generations” and provided Korean War veterans and young people with an opportunity to spend meaningful time together.

The meeting was attended by four veterans, including Ryu Seo-ho, the head of the Dong-gu Branch of the Incheon Chapter of the Korean War Veterans Association, as well as about 20 young people in Incheon.

The veterans shared their personal experiences and the pain they endured during the war, recalling its horrors. Some veterans got teary-eyed as they recounted their stories.

 

“At the age of nineteen, I lost my family due to the Korean War, and even after 75 years, I still don’t know if they are alive or dead.”

“During my time as a refugee, I enlisted in the military, fighting with guns during the day and combating with a bayonet at night.”

“In the pitch-black night, with no light at all, we couldn’t tell friend from foe. We fought just to survive.”

“As a guerrilla, without a rank or military number, I received rations and weapons from the U.S. military, taking part in combat. I only wanted to protect my hometown.”

The young people then had the opportunity to ask the veterans questions and listen to their thoughts and experiences.

One young attendee shared, “I deeply appreciate hearing the precious experiences directly from those who lived through the war. Until now, I had only learned about the war through media, but hearing it firsthand made it much more real. As our country remains in a state of ceasefire, I hope we can soon achieve a complete end to the war.” The veterans also expressed their gratitude: “It was a meaningful time to share the experiences of war that we’ve never been able to talk about easily with the younger generation. We are deeply thankful to HWPL Global 09 Branch for organizing such a meaningful event.”

The event concluded with a group photo to commemorate this meaningful intergenerational meeting. This intergenerational meeting served as a time to reflect on the sacrifices and dedication of the Korean War veterans and reaffirm South Korea’s commitment to peace and unity.

Today I'd like to introduce an article regarding IPYG's affiliate organisation, Young Africans for Peace and Development :)

Introducing IPYG Affiliate Organization – Young Africans for Peace and Development(YAPAD)

Young Africans for Peace and Development (YAPAD) is a community-based organization operating in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia to promote peace, social justice, and sustainable development. Founded in 2018, YAPAD has offices in Nairobi, Marsabit, and Mandera, expanding its efforts to provide tangible support to communities affected by border conflicts and instability.

YAPAD facilitates inter-community peace forums in border regions and provides mediation and peace education for young people. Additionally, it engages in environmental protection and climate action while supporting the empowerment of women and youth through vocational training and small-scale financial assistance programs. The organization also works to improve healthcare services and establish clean water and sanitation facilities.

Recognizing the need to strengthen youth-led peacebuilding initiatives, YAPAD partnered with the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) on September 20, 2024. This partnership aims to spread a culture of peace through peace education, environmental protection, and nonviolent conflict resolution.

Halima Mohamed Sheikh, Executive Director of YAPAD, shared the following remarks about this partnership.

“IPYG’s vision of achieving world peace through youth participation deeply aligns with our mission. Through this partnership, we will provide young people with the skills and opportunities they need to actively engage in peace initiatives.”

Following the partnership, YAPAD and the IPYG are planning youth-led peace discussions, leadership training workshops, and campaigns promoting nonviolent solutions. They are also developing concrete strategies for youth-led environmental initiatives and promoting a culture of nonviolence and peace. The two organizations are finalizing plans for effective implementation and will launch projects that create meaningful impact.

YAPAD encourages young people worldwide to take an active role in building peace within their communities. Halima Mohamed Sheikh, Executive Director of YAPAD, emphasized that young people have the power to create a more peaceful world.

“To all young leaders across the globe, your voice and actions matter. Peace starts with us—through education, dialogue, and unwavering commitment, we can build societies where conflicts are resolved without violence, and opportunities are created for all. Let us continue working together for a future grounded in peace, understanding, and mutual respect.”

Moving forward, YAPAD will strengthen its collaboration with the IPYG to empower young people beyond East Africa to take the lead in peacebuilding worldwide.

Today I'd like to introduce an article regarding HWPL's feature on ZNBC in Zambia! :)

Yesterday, HWPL Zambia Branch Manager, Minji Ko, was featured on ZNBC Update, discussing the Clean Up, Crime Down! Peace Street Campaign and the vital link between waste management and crime reduction

Joining the discussion via call was Mr. Nyambe Bulumba, Assistant Public Relations Manager of Lusaka City Council, who shared insights on the city's role in promoting environmental responsibility and safety.

Discussion Emphasis:

“There’s a clear connection between cleanliness and crime reduction. When a community actively maintains its environment clean and orderly, it signals care, responsibility, and vigilance. This sends a message that crime isn't tolerated, helping to discourage criminal behaviour. Simply put, keeping our environment clean builds a culture of respect and safety, directly reducing crime.”

A cleaner city is a safer city - and through collective action, we can create a Crime-Free Zone Lusaka by 2025.

A huge thank you to ZNBC for providing the platform to raise awareness on this movement.

Join HWPL Zambia this Saturday, March 2nd, for the Clean Up, Crime Down! Peace Street Activity and be part of the change!

2nd FijiLogging in Lautoka

On February 23rd, HWPL Global 11 Branch successfully held its 2nd FijiLogging event in Lautoka. This time, HWPL teamed up with ONOP (One Nation Our People Youth), making it an even more meaningful experience

What is FijiLogging?

FijiLogging is all about keeping the environment clean while staying active. It’s a fun activity where we jog or walk while picking up litter, helping both our health and our beautiful nature.

This movement is part of the HOPE in FIJI program. It started with a simple idea - small actions from each person can protect Fiji’s natural beauty, improve one's wellbeing, and bring peace to our communities.

FijiLogging will be happening regularly, and everyone is welcome. Let's keep Fiji clean and green
