On July 3rd, the Ministry of Health of Mongolia and HWPL Mongolia Chapter co-hosted the 123rd Blood Donation Day at the National Library in Ulaanbaatar. Around 150 participants—including public institutions, NGOs, and citizens—took part.

The highlight was honoring those who had donated more than 100 times.

The day was not just about giving blood—it was also a celebration. Visitors enjoyed Korean calligraphy booths, caricature drawing, lucky draws, and DIY phone accessory workshops. These creative programs turned the donation into a joyful festival of sharing, reminding everyone that peace and happiness often go hand in hand.

💡 Peace Beyond Borders – The DPCW Webinar

Earlier, in March, HWPL marked the 9th anniversary of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) with an international webinar titled “Legislate Peace: The Path of Cooperation and Unity.”

Experts emphasized Articles 8 and 9 of the DPCW, which highlight religious freedom and preventing religion from being misused as a cause of conflict. They stressed that dialogue among different faiths is vital to break down prejudice.

The discussions also explored how citizens, not just governments, can make peace real in daily life. Presenters underlined that legal frameworks must be backed by civic participation, education, and interfaith cooperation.

🌱 The Role of Youth and Citizens

Youth leaders shared inspiring perspectives, saying that peace should not only be studied but experienced directly. They pointed to three essentials:

Action-based learning
Spaces for free expression and self-realization
Inclusive, joyful environments

HWPL also launched the “One Korea Peace Camp”, encouraging young people worldwide to participate in projects for Korean Peninsula peace, linking local action with global unity.

❤️ Peace Grows Through Practice

From giving blood in Mongolia to debating peace law online, HWPL’s activities show one truth: peace grows through practice. 🌱

Donating blood is peace.
Recognizing lifelong service is peace.
Creating fair laws is peace. 💡
Educating and empowering youth is peace. ✨

Just as blood keeps the body alive, small acts of peace keep humanity alive. HWPL reminds us that peace doesn’t start only at the top—it blossoms when ordinary people live it out each day. 🌍❤️

HWPL, led by the Chairman Man Hee Lee, continues to bring people together in the most meaningful ways — across religion, generations, and even borders. Through its “We Are One” campaign, HWPL launched a series of peace-focused events throughout Korea to encourage understanding, harmony, and action for a better world. 🌱

🧠 Incheon Peace Lecture for Korean Unity

In Incheon, over 300 attendees — including leaders, youth, and citizens — gathered for a powerful peace lecture. They explored how unity on the Korean Peninsula could be the starting point of a brighter future. A speaker reminded the crowd that peace isn’t only about politics; it’s about security, prosperity, and the lives of future generations.

One youth participant emphasized that “peace begins with connection,” and called for young people to raise their voices and take part in peacebuilding. The audience ended the event by singing “Our Wish Is Unification” together — a beautiful moment of shared hope. 🎶

📖 Sharing Wisdom in Gangneung: Interfaith Peace in Action

In Gangneung, HWPL hosted a deep dive into Buddhist teachings, welcoming people of different faiths to learn and share together. Over two sessions, the audience explored themes like the Eightfold Path and the Six Paramitas — lessons about kindness, wisdom, and discipline.

The guest speaker emphasized that, even though beliefs may differ, a peaceful heart connects us all. Many attendees found new respect and understanding for each other’s traditions, showing how true peace is built through learning, not judging. ✍️

💗 Warm Hearts in Gimhae: Health and Peace for Cambodian Residents

Down south in Gimhae, something very special happened. About 80 Cambodian residents came for a free health check-up. But beyond physical health, the event focused on mental and emotional care as well. HWPL set up a booth sharing peace education, helping visitors reflect on their self-worth and value.

Every participant said they would gladly join peace education programs in the future. The Cambodian Embassy expressed strong support for HWPL’s mission and offered to collaborate more. That’s what happens when peace meets kindness. 💡

🌍 Man Hee Lee’s Global Vision Through Local Action

From temples to city halls, from lectures to health centers — HWPL’s peace efforts continue to grow under the guidance of the Chairman Man Hee Lee. His leadership has shown that peace is not just a theory, but something we live out in small acts of care and connection every day.

This is peace in motion — powered by dialogue, built on understanding, and guided by hope.

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.”

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. 💪🌍

Peace in Malaysia and the Czech Republic Begins with Man Hee Lee’s Vision

🌏 Key Point: Peace is more than an idea—it’s a global action HWPL is bringing to life through law, education, and love.
✍️ | Let’s explore how HWPL and Chairman Man Hee Lee are uniting people across the world—one heart at a time!

🌟Man Hee Lee’s Peace in Action: From Laws to Little Smiles 💬💞

💼 Building Peace Through Law: The DPCW and Global Symposium

Did you know there’s actually a law proposal to stop war and build peace? Yep! It’s called the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War), and it’s not just words on paper—it’s got supporters from over 170 countries! 😮🌍

HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light), a peace NGO led by Chairman Man Hee Lee, recently hosted a big online Peace Law Symposium with international experts. People from Ethiopia, Lebanon, and beyond joined to talk about how this declaration can help areas hit hard by conflict.

From the Philippines’ long-time conflict in Mindanao to civil issues in Ethiopia, folks shared stories and strategies. One key point? Peace needs local solutions that truly understand each culture and community. That’s why HWPL is working on regional customization of DPCW—so everyone feels seen and heard ✨📜

🌟 The Man Behind the Movement: Man Hee Lee’s Legacy of Peace

Behind HWPL’s global efforts is a leader who truly walks the talk—the Chairman Man Hee Lee, founder and chairman of HWPL. His journey of peace is not just about speeches or visions, but about real impact. In 2014, he successfully mediated a peace agreement in Mindanao, Philippines, putting an end to a devastating 40-year conflict between religious groups. That historic moment led the local government to declare January 24 as “Peace Day,” a symbol of lasting reconciliation.

Since then, the Chairman Man Hee Lee has led HWPL to unite people from all walks of life—law experts, religious leaders, educators, and everyday citizens—under one goal: sustainable, practical peace. The DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War), created with international legal scholars, is a key example of his long-term vision. For Man Hee Lee, peace isn’t just the absence of war—it’s a lifestyle built through law, education, and mutual understanding. And that philosophy is now taking root all around the world—from Czech classrooms to Malaysian children’s homes. 🌍💛

📘 Peace Education in Prague: “A Better World Starts with Me”

Meanwhile, in the charming city of Prague 🇨🇿, HWPL was making waves in a different way—through education! On March 25th, at the Holešovice Conference Hall, HWPL celebrated the 9th anniversary of the DPCW and held a peace education graduation ceremony 🎓🕊

Students who joined the course titled “A Better World Starts with Me” shared how their hearts and thinking changed. They learned about values like respect, forgiveness, gratitude, and how to put peace into practice every day.

Even people who once felt like outsiders in a new land shared how peace helped them feel a sense of belonging and courage to speak out against injustice. That’s the power of education when combined with a peaceful mindset 💡❤️

🧸 Volunteer Love in Malaysia: Big Hearts for Little Ones

Let’s fly down to Malaysia ✈️🇲🇾, where on April 9th, HWPL members visited the Ti-Ratana Welfare Center in Kuala Lumpur. And oh, the joy! Children from different backgrounds came together to laugh, learn, and play in a peaceful, caring space 🧒🏽👧🏼🎨

Through games, stories, and kind conversations, HWPL volunteers showed what it means to serve with love. It wasn’t just a visit—it was a reminder that peace starts with kindness, especially toward the smallest voices in our society 💬💛

The local foundation, which takes care of children, the elderly, and vulnerable communities, welcomed HWPL warmly. Together, they planted seeds of hope that will grow for generations.

🤝 One Message, One Heart: “We Are One”

Across laws, classrooms, and volunteer missions, HWPL’s message is crystal clear: 🌍✨ “We Are One.” That’s not just a motto—it’s a movement. Whether it’s guiding nations with peace laws, helping children believe in a better tomorrow, or creating understanding between different faiths and cultures…

HWPL and Chairman Man Hee Lee are leading with action, not just words. And the best part? This movement isn’t just for world leaders. It’s for YOU and ME too. Peace begins wherever we are—with a kind word, an open mind, and a helping hand 🙌🌈

🏁 Final Thoughts

Peace isn’t a faraway dream. With organizations like HWPL showing us how, we can start living peace—right here, right now. Whether through law, education, or volunteering, every little act counts.

From removing graffiti to fixing windows, this act wasn’t about grand gestures—it was about making small changes with big hearts. A refugee volunteer said, “I was happy to help others like me.” ❤️

HWPL Germany’s message? 👉 “You don’t have to do much to make a difference. Even a little help can be a huge comfort to someone.” And honestly, isn’t that true? ☺️

These activities not only cleaned the streets but also built bridges of trust and hope. In a world where millions are displaced, this kind of human connection is priceless. 🌐🤝

A Sacred Space in the U.S.: Peace Talk in a Buddhist Temple 🌸

Across the ocean in San Francisco, HWPL teamed up with a Cambodian Buddhist temple for a beautiful exchange of culture and faith during the Maha Visakha Puja (Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and passing). 🌟

Held on May 25, this event wasn’t just for Buddhists—it was an invitation to everyone, including Christian and Muslim peace activists. The atmosphere was filled with warm conversations, shared meals, and powerful prayers for global peace.

Through the program “Peace Through Scripture,” participants explored how their sacred texts speak about peace. The result? A renewed commitment to dialogue, understanding, and future interfaith projects together! 📖🕊️

Some religious leaders even expressed interest in joining HWPL’s Religious Youth Peace Camp and interfaith peace networks. This is how real change begins—through connection and shared purpose. ✨🌱

🌍 We Are One: What This Means for Us ❤️

All three events—from Madagascar, Germany, and the U.S.—may seem far away from each other on the map. But they share one heartbeat: Peace is not just a dream, it’s a choice we can all make every day.

Whether it’s cleaning up a refugee center, attending a cultural dialogue, or simply listening to someone with a different faith—these are all acts of peace. And peace isn’t passive. It’s active, real, and something we grow together. 🌱💪🌎

HWPL, led by its Chairman Man Hee Lee, is showing the world what this looks like. With grassroots volunteers and international partners, they are living out the message: “We Are One.” And that’s a message we all need today. 💞🌍

🌈 Final Thoughts:

Peace isn’t some far-off dream—it’s already happening. In classrooms in Zambia, in joyful celebrations in Kenya, in clean beaches in Malaysia, and in every step we take toward kindness 🌿💫

“We Are One!” : How Peace Brought Filipinos and Koreans Together

🔑 Key Point: Peace is not just remembering the past — it’s something we all have to build together, especially through education and unity!

✨ Summary Key Points ✨

Filipino veterans honored for their role in the Korean War
🌍 HWPL leads peace movements globally through law and education
📚 Over 8,000 students and citizens join Peace Day in the Philippines
🕊️ Veterans share wartime memories and call for Korean unification
🤝 “We Are One” spirit inspires youth to stand for peace
✍️ Peace Map signed to pass legacy to the next generation
🧠 Education seen as the heart of lasting peace

🎖️Veterans Who Fought for Peace, Not Just War

On June 21, in a quiet corner of Parañaque City’s public library, something powerful happened. Filipino veterans who bravely fought in the Korean War gathered again — not for war, but for peace 🕊️.

At the “Thank You Day for Korean War Filipino Veterans”, old soldiers shared their painful memories. 💔 Bombs, fear, separation… but also unity, courage, and hope. One veteran remembered fighting at the front lines before the ceasefire — and how much it means to him to see South Korea thrive today.

They didn’t fight just for one country — they fought for a world that’s peaceful and united. That’s why HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) brought everyone together — to honor those who served and to remind us: We all have a role in peace. 🌼

📜 Peace Is a Legacy, Not Just a Dream

Peace isn’t just a word — it’s a mission that needs to be passed down. That’s why HWPL led a special “Peace Map Signing” ceremony. Veterans and their families signed messages of hope for the next generation.

The theme? “Comrades Who Fought Together, Let’s Unite Korea Together!” 🙌 It wasn’t just about remembering war, but about protecting the peace that so many fought for.

Children gave flowers to the veterans, saying, “Thanks to your sacrifice, we have a future.” 💐 That moment touched every heart in the room.

One association leader said it best:
“We didn’t go to Korea for war — we went to protect peace. And every ‘thank you’ we hear from the Korean people brings tears to our eyes.” 💖

🧠 Education: Planting the Seeds of Peace

So how do we keep the peace alive? 🎓 HWPL believes the answer is education. In places like the Philippines, where war has affected even kids (like during the 2017 Marawi conflict), peace education becomes super important.

That’s why HWPL started Peace Clubs with schools and DepEd offices in the Philippines. These clubs teach kids not just to talk about peace, but to live it, share it, and build it — through understanding, kindness, and unity. 🤝

On January 24, more than 8,000 students, parents, and teachers celebrated the 11th “Peace Day” in Cavite. One student said,
“Through our peace walk, we all became one voice for the world.” 🌍

In today’s digital world, even sharing peace messages on social media helps! 📱✨ “We have the power to spread peace with every post,” said a teen participant.

💬 Peace Is Everyone’s Job — Especially the Youth

“Adults declare war, but it’s the youth who fight it,” said a HWPL leader. So the youth must now rise — not to fight, but to protect peace through their voices. 🗣️

At the Peace Day event, young people were asked to lead the future with DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War). It’s a law proposal built by HWPL and international legal experts that aims to stop war and promote human dignity worldwide. 🌐

One local school official summed it up perfectly:
“Peace isn’t the job of one country. It’s a mission we all share. From climate change to conflicts, we must face these challenges together — as one human family.” 💞🌎

✅ Final Thoughts: Peace Is Personal

Peace isn’t just about ending wars — it’s about creating a better life, together. Whether you’re a student, teacher, parent, or even a kid, you have the power to bring peace closer — one step, one smile, one lesson at a time 😊

Let’s carry the legacy of these brave veterans into our classrooms, homes, and online spaces. Let’s remember: We Are One

💣 The Korean War: A Day That Changed a Nation

On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces launched a surprise attack across the 38th parallel, beginning what the world now calls the Korean War. In Korea, this is often called 6·25 (Yuk-i-o) — the date itself became a symbol of national trauma. But outside Korea, it’s known as the Korean War, a conflict that dragged in over 20 countries and millions of lives.

The war was not just about the Korean Peninsula. It was a global chessboard — a battlefield for the Cold War, with the U.S. and United Nations backing South Korea, and China and the Soviet Union supporting the North. Families were ripped apart. Cities were reduced to rubble. And yet, amidst the chaos, stories of incredible bravery emerged. 🕯️

One such story is the Baekdusan warship, which, just hours after the war began, blocked a North Korean transport ship headed for Busan. With only 100 shells and no prior combat experience, the Korean Navy protected the southeast coast, buying time for U.S. reinforcements to land safely in July. 🙌

🌏 Beyond the Guns: A Peace We Still Haven’t Found

Although the fighting ended with an armistice in 1953, true peace was never achieved. The Korean Peninsula remains divided, and technically, still at war. The scars of the conflict remain in barbed-wire borders, separated families, and the haunting memories of those who lived through it. 😔

But peace is not a passive thing. It needs active effort — and that’s where HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) comes in.

HWPL is not just an organization. It’s a movement. A vision for a world where conflict is resolved with dialogue, not destruction.

🙌 What Can We Do for Peace Today?

So, what can we do on this day of remembrance?

Here are simple yet powerful steps you can take:

📚 Educate yourself and others about the Korean War and its lessons
✍️ Support the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War), a legal framework proposed by HWPL
🤝 Join peace walks, especially around May 25, HWPL’s global peace day
🧠 Promote peace education in your school or community
📱 Spread awareness online — your post could open someone’s eyes to the value of peace

It doesn’t take a general to fight for peace. It takes someone who believes in a better future — and that can be you. 🌟

🧭 A Future Written in Peace, Not War

The Korean War teaches us that violence creates nothing but pain. The people of Korea have suffered enough. It’s time we finish what history left unfinished — not with weapons, but with words, will, and unity. 💬✌️

Let this June 25 not just be a day to mourn the past, but to move forward — one peaceful step at a time. With organizations like HWPL leading the way, we can be the generation that turns war into history and peace into reality. 🕊️

Yorosso’s Historic Step for Peace: Mali City Declares May 25 as “Peace Day”

🌍 Key Point: Mali’s Yorosso City officially adopted a resolution inspired by the DPCW and declared May 25 as its official “Peace Day”—marking the first case in Africa of integrating HWPL’s peace principles into local law! 🎉🕊️

✨ Summary ✨
▪️ Yorosso becomes first African city to adopt a resolution based on the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)
▪️ May 25 officially designated as “Yorossso Peace Day”
▪️ Citizens led the creation of the resolution through public dialogues
▪️ HWPL recognized as an official peace partner of the city
▪️ A major turning point for community-based peace governance

💡 What Happened in Yorosso?

On May 26, the city council of Yorosso, Mali unanimously passed a historic resolution inspired by the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War), originally proclaimed in 2016 by HWPL. This moment not only marks a first in Africa, but it also sets a shining example of how local governments and citizens can work together to build sustainable peace 💪🏾🌿.

The resolution was drafted through citizen participation and officially adopted in the presence of 23 council members and the mayor. It highlights the values of equal civic participation and the spread of a culture of peace, directly referencing Article 10 of the DPCW.

👥 Citizens at the Heart of the Peace Process

What makes this event extra meaningful? It wasn’t just a top-down decision. Starting in February 2024, HWPL’s Mali branch and the city government facilitated a series of community dialogues, where residents identified conflict sources and worked toward peaceful solutions.

The result? A resolution written by the people, for the people ✍️❤️. The mayor even took part in drafting the first version!

And get this—May 25 will now be celebrated every year as “Yorosso Peace Day”. How cool is that?! 🎉🕊️

🛠️ Real Actions for Real Peace

This wasn’t just words on paper. Yorosso citizens have already been walking the talk:

🧹 Regular street cleanups
📚 Peace education for youth
🎭 Cultural events that promote unity

These small but powerful activities have helped foster trust and a sense of shared identity within the community.

Even without full-time staff in the region, HWPL’s Mali branch has built a self-sustaining structure through consistent education programs and local training. Residents took the lead from start to finish—proof that lasting peace begins with local ownership 💬🌱.

🌐 What This Means for the World

With war and conflict threatening many corners of the globe, Yorosso’s peaceful step is more than symbolic—it’s a model for international peace governance. A representative from HWPL emphasized the importance of other cities and nations following Yorosso’s lead by institutionalizing the DPCW through legal frameworks 📜🌍.

And the journey isn’t over! Yorosso plans to:

✨ Expand its peace and volunteer culture
👵 Bridge generational gaps through traditional festivals
📖 Document and preserve community customs

This is just the beginning of a peaceful ripple effect that could reach across Mali—and all of Africa 💫.

Let’s celebrate cities that choose peace, one resolution at a time! 💙 Wouldn’t it be amazing if your town was next? 😄🕊️
