[HWPL] HWPL Giving Hope to Children in Guinea

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 activity for children in Guinea :)

Giving Hope to Children for a Better World of Peace

– Dinner Invitation for Children Affected by the Guinea Oil Tank Explosion –

On May 24th, in the Conakry region of Guinea, a volunteer activity was conducted under the theme ‘Giving Hope to Children for a Better World of Peace,’ targeting children affected by the oil tank explosion in Guinea. This event was organized in collaboration with HWPL Global 5 Branch and Guinea GSP Antag Plus, and with the help of six volunteers from GSP Antag Plus, food was provided to a total of 2,000 students.

In the early morning of December 18, 2023, a fire broke out due to an explosion at the petroleum storage facility in the Kaloum area of Conakry, where most of the refined oil imported by Guinea, a country that imports all of its petroleum, is stored. This explosion caused various degrees of damage to nearby residents, who continue to face livelihood difficulties even after the explosion.

Issa Bah, the CEO of GSP Antag Plus, who is the first HWPL peace educator in Guinea, shared the situation in the Kaloum area with HWPL Branch 5 and co-planned a volunteer activity for children, the targets of peace education and the future of the country. They visited Soloprimo Elementary School in the affected area, introduced HWPL, and explained the purpose of the volunteer activity, providing hamburgers and drinks to about 300 students and snacks to about 1,700 students.

The students, who listened to the explanation about HWPL’s peace activities, all shouted “We are one!” together, expressing their gratitude for the helping hands that reached out during difficult times. This volunteer activity provided an opportunity for the staff and parents of Soloprimo Elementary School to experience HWPL peace education.

Issa Bah, the CEO of GSP Antag Plus, who co-hosted the event with HWPL Branch 05, said, “I believe this volunteer activity will serve as a foundation for HWPL’s peace activities in Guinea in the future.”
