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 IPYG's (International Peace Youth Group, the youth affiliate of HWPL) affiliate organization in Kenya :)
Rob Youth Foundation
The Rob Youth Foundation has branches in Namibia and Botswana. The Namibia branch has offices in 14 regions with a total of 150 members, while the Botswana branch was established in October 2023 with a total of 25 members.

The Rob Youth Foundation is dedicated to solving the social and economic problems youth are experiencing. It focuses on youth unemployment, teenage pregnancy, drug and alcohol addiction, school development, environmental conservation, and improving the welfare of local communities as its main areas of activity.
The Rob Youth Foundation, which has been consistently active for youth, partnered with the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) in June 2022 to promote peace through various initiatives and projects in Namibia and Botswana.

The Rob Youth Foundation collaborated with IPYG to carry out projects such as the Youth Empowerment Peace Class (YEPC), environmental cleanup campaigns, volunteering at the Katutura Old Age Home, and donating on Menstrual Hygiene Day. Additionally, during an interview with the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), they expressed expectations for future activities with IPYG and revealed plans for further collaboration.
“We believe that if the youth stand up and speak out on issues such as war, hunger, youth unemployment, etc., we will be able to achieve world peace. Now is the time for the youth to stand up and address the issues affecting their lives. We can only live in harmony when peace prevails globally,” said Mr. Robert Maseka, Founder of Rob Youth Foundation.
