[HWPL] HWPL Peace Camp Education in Israel with Israeli and Palestinian students!

Original Link : Israel-Palestine Peace Education Camp Hope School Spreading the Message of Peace

Most people with an interest in international affairs, especially the Middle East, know how 'healthy' (irony intended) the relationship between Israel and Palestine has been since time memorial.

Long-term hatred and violence between these two countries on religious, political and diplomatic grounds has become an infamous issue within the international community. Countless casualties have resulted from major and minor military conflicts, claiming the lives of many innocent victims.

To this end, HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light. Chairman: Mr. Man Hee Lee) has been carrying out its global Peace Education campaign and hosted Peace Camp Education for Israeli and Palestinian students to teach them about peace.

Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL always shouts for world peace, and he works for a world of peace to pass on to future generations. To make it a reality, he emphasises the importance of teaching youth everywhere how to understand and love one another and resolve conflict through dialogue, not with knives and guns.

Mar Elias Institution, Saint John's School and Hope School in Palestine all signed MOAs with HWPL, co-hosting 'HWPL Peace Education Camp: Crossing Border', with 150 faculty leaders and students in attendance.

Mr. Michael Chacour, the executive director of Mar Elias Institution said :

"......I find it the best education to help our kids to accept others, especially in our land. Such events should be held in other countries as well as Israel and Palestine."

To date, HWPL has signed numerous MOUs with ministries of education in the Philippines, Cambodia and Sri-Lanka - to name a few - and with schools and universities across the world (You can find related peace education articles in my blog).

On that day, students and faculty leaders wrote peace letters urging the heads of the 193 world states to support the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War; a new international law drafted by HWPL's International Law Peace Committee to resolve all global conflicts and achieve world peace). The DPCW, with its 10 articles and 38 clauses, will be enacted at the UN.

Mr. Khader S. J. Abuabbara said :

"......This created a culture of peace and planted the spirit of peace in the minds of the students who were entrusted to us..."

Personally, I'm relieved to see Israelis and Palestinians working together to learn about world peace in the midst of the ongoing conflict. To finish my article, I'd like to quote words by Alex, who participated at the peace camp:

"...I had the opportunity to build a good friendship with other students. I believe peace must be part of any work we carry out."

I hope people from all countries everywhere become close friends via HWPL's DPCW and peace campaign :)





Peace!

[IPYG] IPYG's Free Hugs Campaign for a Jolly Christmas!

[IPYG] IPYG's Free Hugs Campaign for a Jolly Christmas!

Every 25th of December is a very well known day for most people in the world - the day when Jesus Christ was born - and it is the day when Santa Clause, in his red costume, delivers presents for every kid in the world with his beloved red-nosed reindeer, Rudolf.

I hope that every visitor to my blog has received wonderful presents from somebody :)

Meanwhile, all the way down in the southern hemisphere, the Australian branch of IPYG (International Peace Youth Group) carried out its own warm campaign for a jolly Christmas!

IPYG is an organization made up of youth volunteers working for world peace across 6 branches, and hundreds of affiliates all over the world working together.

IPYG's international branches

To spread a culture of peace, love and unity, which is also one of the 10 articles of the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War), IPYG Australian branch decided to hug as many people as possible downtown! XD

Let's take a look at a video of IPYG's "I Present Your Gifts" :)

How was that? Isn't it a touching video that makes you smile? :)

Let me write a message directly from the video again for you :

We should be united 

No matter the age, race or religion

With a simple act of kindness

We all have the power

To Spread : Peace Unity Happiness

I don't think this 'Free Hugs' campaign is a simple campaign of showing the love of humanity. I personally think that IPYG wants to tell people that the world should be united to make world peace. And, to do that, just like a small hug can make others feel happy, we need to take small steps participating in IPYG's peace campaign to lead world peace.

I absolutely agree on this phrase "We all have the power to spread : Peace Unity Happiness". Your and my simple resolution for ourselves and the world will change the world.

Get informed and get involved today for world peace :)
