[HWPL] HWPL Global 03 Branch's Plogging in Busan
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 Global 03 Branch carried out plogging for the community :)
𝙀𝙘𝙤 𝙏𝙚𝙣 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙣, 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙆𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙖 Sixteen youth members from HWPL Global 03 Branch carried out a street clean-up in the Hadan area of Busan!
As part of the 'Eco Ten Minutes' project, the youth contributed to improving the local environment through plogging, which deeply moved local citizens who witnessed their voluntary participation. The young members felt a great sense of fulfillment knowing they could contribute to their community with just 10 minutes of plogging.
Plogging is a compound word between 'plocka upp (in Swedish)', which means “picking up grains,” and jogging. It refers to the activity of picking up litter while jogging. It is an initiative that combines environmental safeguarding with peace-building, and boosts one's health at the same time!
