[HWPL] HWPL's Global Peace NGO Award at Sri Lanka Peace Conference
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), an international peace NGO, received the Global Peace NGO Award at an event hosted by the International Peace Mission Conference (IPMC) at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH) in Colombo. The ceremony was held in observance of the International Day of Peace and drew more than 300 participants, including religious leaders, diplomats, academics, political figures, and peace activists.
According to organizers, the award recognizes HWPL’s contributions to global peace, international cooperation, and the promotion of a culture of peace.
During the same event, HWPL Chairman Man Hee Lee was awarded the honorary lifetime title “Sama Sri,” meaning “Peace Advocate.” He was also named among the Top 100 recipients of IPMC’s Global Peace Awards 2026 and received the organization’s International Global Award. Former Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena presented the Sama Sri title, while Chanaka Suranga, chief branch manager of HWPL Sri Lanka, accepted the recognition on Lee’s behalf.
HWPL has continued to expand its peace and volunteer activities in Sri Lanka. In August 2025, volunteers carried out a street-cleaning campaign in Kandy following the Kandy Esala Perahera, one of the country’s major Buddhist festivals. On February 4, 2026, HWPL and the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) organized tree-planting events in Moratuwa, Minipe-Hasalaka, and Jaffna to mark Sri Lanka’s Independence Day, attracting more than 350 participants, including local residents, youth, and public officials.
The conference was attended by representatives from diplomatic, religious, educational, and government sectors, as well as members of civil society, university students, and peace organizations.
HWPL said it remains committed to promoting peace through education, interfaith dialogue, and cooperation with youth and local communities, supporting efforts to foster mutual understanding and social harmony worldwide.
