[IWPG] A World of Peace Drawn by Children: "2nd International Peace-Love Drawing Competition"

On sunny October 10th, IWPG (International Women's Peace Group; Chairwoman Mrs. Hyunsook Yoon) hosted its "2nd International Peace-Love Drawing Competition" at the Nurikum Square Building in Seoul.

The competition was held to spread a culture of peace throughout the world for world peace. More than 6500 students from 41 cities in 30 countries participated in each city under the theme "Cessation of War, Handwritten Peace Letters, Love for Nation and Peace, and Eradication of Weapons."

In this article, I want to share quotes and pictures of participants including the chairwoman of IWPG and children.

VIPs and children who were awarded for their pictures

Mrs. Hyunsook Yoon. Chairwoman of IWPG : 

"There is a thing I find regrettable in this international event—that children and youth in North Korea were not able to join us. I am confident that if all youth across the globe have a great yearning for it, and our hope for peace touches heaven, we will be able to see the day when children and youth from the North take part in the event together with us. I promise that the IWPG will pour its efforts into realizing a world of peace on the drawing papers to ensure that they do not simply remain as drawings and also to make the event even better next year."

Mr. Soon-kyu Hwang. Vice-chair of Board of Directors of Korean Fine Arts Association :

"Young children and youth are the key players who will lead the achievement of world peace. That is why it is all the more crucial that we teach them a culture of peace via drawings. Education on the culture of peace that enlightens people worldwide and brings together religions and nations should be done under the slogan, ‘We are one!'"

Children who awarded for the prize

Ms. Ha-eun Yoon. Grand prize winner :

"I believe that we have a deep yearning for peace and consider it important because words like “war” and “conflict” exist. For wars to cease, what we need are peace and unification. Hence, I drew a pure white dove, able to fly freely to anywhere in the world, carrying a rainbow-colored hope and delivering a message of peace to all the people tormented by war."

Mr. Lee-hyang Chun. Director of Center for Hongik Filial Piety, Loyalty, Proprieties, and Culture : 

"I believe that the majority of the people dream of building a world free of wars and that the children have sown the seed to make it a reality through these drawings. I think that when the seed grows, blossoms, and bears fruit, that would be the time when the world becomes a peaceful place."


As a member of HWPL Supporters One, I wish for a peaceful world that children dream of to come true soon in the near future :)

The 2019 HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) 'World Peace Summit: The 5th Anniversary of the WARP Summit' main theme is "Legislate Peace" and sub-theme is 'Implementation of the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War) for Sustainable Development'.

HWPL's Chairman Mr.Man Hee Lee has been working for the enactment of the DPCW in the UN general assembly with peace advocates of HWPL and its partner groups - IWPG (International Women's Peace Group) and IPYG (International Peace Youth Group).

The DPCW consists of 10 articles and 38 clauses to cease all wars and hostilities and to maintain peace throughout the world.

Today, I bring you quotations by people currently working with HWPL to implement the DPCW :) Let's listen to what they say about these peace groups (HWPL, IWPG and IPYG) and the DPCW.

1. Rev. Tshuma Masimango Katembo, Mr. Jean de Dieu Munyembabazi, Democratic Republic of Congo

"We found the hope from Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) of HWPL. All 10 articles were exactly what DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) has needed."

"All religious leaders promised to inform the Declaration of Peace for Cessation of War to their congregation members, because it was an important cause aiming to stop wars, massacre in Beni, DRC and secure peace in the world."

2. Mr. Dragomir G. Marian(President of MasterPeace Romania)

"We, peace teachers, will keep moving on for continuous peace education so that it would be deeply rooted in Romania, and also we will stand at the front line for the implementation of DPCW for our future so that our students could live in peace."

3. Nazeeb Sulayman Ibraheem, Reporter, Radio Nigeria

"We can achieve peace work as journalists only if we actively, effectively carry factual stories and peacefully help in heart-to-heart discussions of objective analysis of situations with stakeholders like government officials, peace experts, civil society experts, youth and religious leaders. THE Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) is the most important peace document today."

4. H.E. Karim Khalili, Former Vice President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan

"I support the efficacy of his movement to ensure the maintenance of human dignity and restoration of peace throughout the world......Afghanistan, more than any other country can understand the importance of peace and an end to all wars and violence to achieve their long waited desire which is peace and human dignity. I warmly appreciate HWPL for organizing "Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War" program which can surely draw world's attention to the vital 133 need of peace and its impact on human societies."

5. Prof. Oleksandr Zadorozhnii¸ Former President of Ukrainian Association of International Law

"It is very technical, modern, and well written enough to be implemented. The core contents of the declaration are good. I have helped its translation because the contents were all good......On a legal aspect, there is nothing I should add or modify to the current contents of the declaration as they are good enough...... I totally agree with the contents and the structure of the declaration and have no other suggestion. The purpose and essence of the declaration perfectly goes along with the foreign policies of Ukraine. I support all the activities of HWPL and the DPCW because this is very important."

6. Aung Myint Thu/Manaung Youth Networking Group, Executive Director/Myanmar

"When I saw about DPCW which we are working on to become an international Law as UN resolutions, I said myself '' Right, this is what I have been dreaming - I will be one of the World Peace Maker to make HWPL dream come true."

"UN has not had this kind of international Law in UN. Therefore, it is the time for regional leaders, national leaders and international leaders to support DPCW and make the world have peace. And, let make this vocabulary ''War (W-A-R)'' disappear from our dictionary and our daily life talks. Let educate the Civil Society and get strength from them and make DPCW as an international law together."

Chairperson Man Hee Lee, peace advocates and members of Pan-Africa assembly

7. Herculano Amaral/International Rotary Club of Dili Lafaek,Director/Timor-Leste

East Timor in the time of the civil war

"IPYG Timor-Leste is also working hand by hand with the IWPG Timor-Leste to plan more peace activities such as Peace through Sports, Clean up for Peace, Peace for Concert, Planting Trees and many more things. Moreover, we hope to include more young people so that we can create more spaces for spreading the culture of peace. However, to achieve this, it should be done by cultivating a culture of respecting each other and mutual trust within people to people and states to states levels."

8. Monk Phramaha Monchai Saitanaporn, from Wat Phra Dhammakaya Berlin

"All religions speak of peace, but unfortunately religion has become one the causes for the greatest conflicts in human history. DPCW deals with these issues of religion which may be sensitive and includes specific provisions to resolve religious conflicts.....That is why I strongly believe that the DPCW is the method to achieve peace."

9. Soraya Salie, Founding member of the Bonteheuwel Walking Ladies, South Africa

Children of Bonteheuwel, South Africa

"It is simple to understand, yet very powerful. Out of the 10 articles, we are actively advocating for Article 10 – spreading a Culture of Peace. This is easy because it does not cost money. All you give is kindness and nurturing, which is freely given."

As a member of Supporters One, I hope you chew on what these great leaders of peace NGOs said about the peace group and DPCW :) Join great league of the peace advocates, let's make the world peace together.

Peace!
