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 Peace Education in Australia :)
Promoting Peace and Development through Education in Kawit District
– Empowering Educators: A New Era of Peace Education –
The Municipal Gender and Development Peace Education Orientation Research Training was held at Club Balai Isabel in Batangas Province in the Philippines on November 15-16, 2024. The event was hosted in collaboration with the Department of Education Schools Division Office of the Cavite-Kawit District. The gathering brought together 700 dedicated teachers, 11 school principals, and key stakeholders from local government units focused on integrating peace and gender education into schools.
The event was inspired by the Schools Division Office of Cavite’s participation in the HWPL World Peace Summit in Korea on September 18. Dr. Rolando B. Talon Jr., the public schools district supervisor and focal person for the Cavite-Kawit District, was deeply moved by HWPL’s global peace movement and the commitment of its members toward working to bring peace to the country. As a result, during the event, HWPL signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Schools Division Office of the Cavite-Kawit District.
The event aimed to emphasize the importance of the partnership between HWPL and the Schools Division Office of Cavite. It introduced peace-focused initiatives, such as HWPL peace clubs, and set the foundation for fostering a culture of empathy and mutual respect within educational environments.
A total of 700 teachers prepared a heartfelt performance featuring interpretive dance and sign language and the peace-themed song, “We Are Unity.”
Before the event concluded, Mrs. Irene Rivera Geroy, principal of Aguinaldo Elementary School, presented the Peace Education Project Action Plan for the entire district in order to foster a culture of peace, empathy, and mutual respect among students, educators, and the community.
