🌿🧤 Bonteheuwel’s Big Change: From Guns to Gardens in South Africa 🌞🌻
Cape Town’s Bonteheuwel has long suffered from violence and illegal firearms 😔
But now, it’s rewriting its story—thanks to the “Peace My City – Gun-Free Zone” campaign by HWPL and IPYG 🙌💚
This campaign, inspired by the global peace vision of Chairman Man Hee Lee, transformed a once-neglected space into a symbol of unity. On May 25, nearly 90 youth and locals joined forces to clean up the abandoned field of a former high school 🧹🗑️
They collected over 200 bags of trash, beautified nearby school roads, and reminded their neighbors: peace begins with care 🌸
The event even included prayers from both Muslim and Christian leaders and a cheerful visit from city mascot Bingo Bin 🐾🎉
Thanks to donations from the city and local groups, this project showed that when communities unite, peace is powerful ✨
As one volunteer shared, “We’re not just picking up trash—we’re picking up hope.”
📚🌲 Mongolia’s Mountains Echo with Peace and Giving 🐫💝🌄
In the rugged western regions of Mongolia—Khovd and Bayan-Ulgii—peace found a voice through HWPL’s campaign:
“The Path to Peace Together” 🎶🕊️
Held on May 10 and 12, this campaign brought together over 340 people, including children, parents, and government leaders 🌟
They planted trees 🌳, learned about peace 📖, and shared love through gifts and donations for 100 underprivileged children 🎁
The event wasn’t just local—it became a national message when both provinces signed official declarations to support HWPL’s Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) 📜💬
This moment reflects the dream of the Chairman Man Hee Lee, who has emphasized again and again: peace must be lived in every community—big or small.
From remote mountains to urban centers, his message continues to inspire action.
🌍👫 South Sudan Youth Step into Global Peace with IPYG ✊🕯️💬
South Sudan, one of the world’s youngest nations, has a population made up of over 70% youth 🌱
And now, those young voices are stepping up for global change!
The South Sudan National Youth Union (SSNYU) has officially joined IPYG, partnering with HWPL to promote peace education, host walking campaigns, and lead peace initiatives across the country 🚶🌟
With networks across 13 regions and even abroad, this group is setting the stage for South Sudan’s own peace movement 💫
Their reason for joining? To be part of something bigger. As one member put it:
“The Chairman Man Hee Lee’s vision has united youth around the world. We’re ready to walk that same path.” 🙏🌈
From planning Youth Empowerment Peace Classes (YEPC) to hosting peace conferences, these young leaders are proof that peace isn’t a dream—it’s a decision.
🌈🌿 Peace That Starts Small, but Grows Everywhere 💡
What connects a South African cleanup, a Mongolian tree planting, and a South Sudanese youth movement?
The belief that peace begins with people 💬
Not just governments. Not just policies. But everyday individuals—kids, students, volunteers, parents—taking action where they are 🧤🧡
HWPL, guided by Chairman Man Hee Lee, has planted seeds of peace all around the world.
From signing laws to sharing lunches, from hosting walks to building youth alliances, this is what practical peace looks like 🛤️✨
Let’s keep building it. Together. 💪🌍
Because peace isn’t passive—it’s something we do, every day, with open hearts.
Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!
