Since HWPL founded the Voice of Peace PH (the Philippines) last July, the group has taught volunteer educators to become peace educators and children to become peacemakers. Currently there are 50 peace educators and 160 students who are enrolled on peace education in the Philippines. The Voice of Peace PH is now looking forward to opening a new cohort in January 2021.
