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.

💬 Final Note: Peace begins when we truly see one another — not as strangers, but as neighbors. Let’s keep walking the path of peace, together. ❤️

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!

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.

Let’s choose to be part of the change 🌱💞

🌈 Diversity in Unity: Madagascar Unites for Peace ✨

Under the powerful message of “We Are One,” over 400 citizens gathered at the City Hall square in Madagascar to celebrate peace across religions! 🕌⛪

The event, co-hosted by HWPL and UMMI Madagascar, kicked off the country’s 65th Independence Day celebrations. With people from Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and non-religious backgrounds coming together, it wasn’t just a ceremony—it was a moment of true unity.

The theme was “Unity in Diversity,” and that’s exactly what the crowd embodied. Through music, dance, poetry, and speeches by religious leaders, the event sparked deep conversations on love, tolerance, and mutual respect. 🎶💃📜

One participant said it beautifully: “All living beings have the right to live peacefully.” 💛 This wasn’t just a gathering—it was a promise to bring that peace into their communities, schools, and hearts.

🧹 Helping Hands in Germany: Refugee Support on World Refugee Day 💪

Meanwhile in Frankfurt, Germany, HWPL volunteers took action on World Refugee Day (June 20). Alongside a local refugee support network run by migrants, they rolled up their sleeves to clean and repair community spaces. 🔧🌍

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. 💞🌍

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Man Hee Lee's Peace Vision in Action: From Classrooms to Coastlines YouthForPeace PeaceEducationZambia MalaysiaBeachCleanup KenyaPeaceEvent HWPLPeace

Something incredible is happening in Zambia ! This year, 11 schools in Lusaka officially signed a peace education agreement with HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light). A total of 18 schools gathered to show their support, with the goal of making peace education part of everyday school life.

This move follows the Zambian government’s national commitment to include peace education in public schools, which was announced earlier in April. Now, these schools are stepping up and saying, “Let peace begin in the classroom.” 🎓🌼

Principals even took a public oath to practice and spread peace. Isn’t that inspiring? Just imagine growing up in a school where learning peace is as important as math or science 💡❤️

👉 Why it matters:

Zambia officially supports peace in schools
Teachers are pledging to be peace-builders
Students grow up with harmony at heart

2. In Kenya, 150 Trees for Peace Were Planted 🌳💞

On June 15th, something beautiful happened at Dagoretti High School in Kenya. Students, teachers, and HWPL members celebrated the 12th anniversary of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) with music, speeches, and tree planting! 🎉🌍

The highlight? Each person planted a tree—a total of 150 trees—to symbolize hope, renewal, and peace. One student leader gave a heartfelt speech that moved the whole crowd. It wasn’t just a ceremony, it was a moment of unity and love 🌈🎤

3. Malaysian Youths Clean Up for Peace 🌊

On May 30th, young volunteers in Malaysia rolled up their sleeves and got to work on Long Beach in Kuching. Why? To celebrate World Environment Day and World Oceans Day by cleaning the beach! 🧤🌏

With HWPL and the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG), about 20 volunteers picked up plastic, paper, and other waste, turning the shore into a cleaner, safer place for everyone.

One HWPL member said, “A clean environment brings peace and joy.” That really hit home. Peace isn’t just in our hearts—it’s also in the world around us 🐚🕊️

👉 Why it matters:

Environmental action = peaceful living
Youth are leading the way
Small efforts, big results 🌟

4. Walking for Peace in Malaysia 🚶🌺

Also in Kuching, over 200 people joined a Peace Walk organized by HWPL to mark the 12th anniversary of the DPCW. Students, leaders, teachers, and everyday citizens took part in this symbolic walk 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

One politician reminded everyone, “World peace doesn’t begin on big stages—it starts in everyday conversations.” That’s powerful, right? Sometimes just talking kindly or listening openly can be the beginning of peace 💬💖

👉 Why it matters:

Community unity through walking
Peace is a personal journey
You don’t need to be famous to make change

🌈 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 🌿💫

Whether you’re a student, a volunteer, a teacher, or just someone who cares—you have a role to play in peace. And guess what? Even planting one tree or picking up one bottle counts! 💪🌍

Re: 2014 HWPL World Peace Summit – 2

Peace leaders and religious leaders from all over the world gathered in Seoul for the first time in 2014.

It’s a YouTube shorts for less than a minute, so I recommend you watch it. I can feel the excitement wash over me.

In 2013, HWPL declared through the Declaration of World Peace that, to end wars and bring peace to the global community, a new international legal instrument was needed.

At the 2014 World Peace Summit, legal and political leaders from around the world signed an agreement with HWPL to work together on drafting such a document.

In just a year and a half, on 14 March 2016, the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) was proclaimed, and HWPL is actively committed to the introduction of the DPCW into international law.

Man hee Lee, the Chairman of HWPL, said “If you are a believer who truly desires for peace and loves this global community like his own body, religions must become one.
When religions become one, there will be no more war; and if there is no war, there will be peace.
Let’s all become one so we can make this global community into a world of peace.”

Man Hee Lee is a man who is showing the way to the path of peace. With a clear vision, many follow in his footsteps. With him and HWPL, peace will come soon enough.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

Re: 2014 HWPL World Peace Summit – 1

Recently, I’ve been re-motivated about peace. I’ve also been thinking about writing a peace novel. Don’t you think it would be fun?

So we felt it was time to take a look back at what HWPL has been up to since 2014. I also found a YouTube channel called HWPL Peace Magazine. I will be reviewing them one by one.

HWPL hosted the HWPL 918 World Peace Summit (HWPL WARPsummit) in 2014 with leaders in politics, religion, women’s groups, youth groups and the media in attendance.

HWPL and leaders of various sectors convened to discuss conflict resolution, establishing peace, and mutual cooperation and signed landmark agreements on building and implementing solid systems for cooperation.

The agreements covered implementing legal instruments to ensure peace, building religious harmony and creating peace activites by state actors and citizens, respectively.

The legal instruments became the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War) in 2016.

It’s so interesting to trace the past like this. It’s inspiring to see what they decided to do then, and how they realized it years later.

In fact, there’s a HWPL Press Conference that attracts a lot of reporters. The Chairman of HWPL, Man hee Lee, coolly answers the question. These days, reporters are increasingly curious, not aggressively snarky.

As I review each video, I hope you will feel the power of HWPL and become a messenger of peace.

HWPL Offical Video Review 1

This is the latest official HWPL video released 10 months ago. I want to summarize again and organize my thoughts after a long time.

What is HWPL to me? What is peace to you?

What is the percentage of peace in 24 hours a day?

To me, the meaning of HWPL seems like a kind of engine that makes me not stop. The engine is in a car, and I think our heart is a kind of engine.

The engine is the driving force that emits a strong force so that the car can move. If we don’t spew enormous amounts of blood from our hearts moment by moment, humans will collapse like dolls with broken threads.

I can’t even type on the keyboard right now. You can’t even eat. You can’t even work hard in a day.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE HWPL Offical Video Review 1 UN ECOSOC UN DGC Seychelles Man Hee Lee biography kamoros hwpl man hee lee eSwatini DPCW Law for Peace Barbuda antigua

I think peace is really important to anyone. Because safety is the basis of every life. We can’t enjoy our hobbies if it’s not safe. You can’t even surf.

You can’t eat delicious dinner with your lover. Because we could die soon. If there is no peace.

The HWPL is an organization that does a powerful job of peace. So I really like it. Even if no one recognizes them, they move with all their might. It’s really cool.

I support their move. Maybe forever.

With the proclamation of the declaration of world peace, on May 25th 2013 HWPL, the chairman Man Hee Lee, an NGO associated with the UN ECOSOC was established to create a world of peace, free of wars.

HWPL is carrying out peace initiatives in 170 countries around the world.

HWPL aims to develop a legal instrument that will ensure peace in the world so that people can live in harmony transcending borders, race and religion.

On March 14th 2016 the 10 articles and 38 clauses of the declaration of peace and cessation of war was proclaimed.

In May 2018 HWPL introduced the DPCW to the UN.
You can see the Chairman Lee Man-hee shouting strongly. I really admire his strong motivational abilities. He really is a man who can make peace.

Permanent representatives of 145 countries receiving the support from the international community the DPCW will be submitted to the UN in the form of a draft resolution.

Specifically, the governments of eswatini, seychelles, kamoros and antigua and Barbuda declared their official support for the DPCW.

I recommend watching the video in person! I’ll call it a day.

I’ll be back for review part 2 next time!
Until then, I hope you think deeply about peace!

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

Peace Documentary “GREAT LEGACY” Highlight Review

Do you know a peace documentary? There are still quite a few people in the world who seek peace.

I really admire them. Because they endure things that are difficult for others to pursue easily. I think it’s more noble.

The peace documentary was very touching. As if it were not easy to see plants grow, I felt like I was watching peace bloom like a flower right next to me.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace Documentary "GREAT LEGACY" Highlight Review Philippine Mindanao Peacebuilding Peace walk Mindanao Peace Monument MILF manheelee peace biography hwpl man hee lee

It’s a breakthrough in ending the 50-year bloody conflict in Mindanao, the Philippines

A procession of 10,000 people who filled a total distance of 19.9km is shouting.

Has the peace that men and women of all ages desperately shouted for come?

Mindanao Island in the southern Philippines.

The land where death was closer to life than to say, “When peace comes to Mindanao, world peace comes.”

The armed conflict between the Philippine government and Mindanao militants, which began with the “Massacre in Morocco” in the 1960s, has turned into a confrontation between Catholic and Islamic religions, killing 120,000 people over the past 50 years.

The peace documentary “The Great Legacy” captures the end of the conflict through HWPL’s movement that began in 2014 in Mindanao, Philippines.

In particular, the Philippine locals, who melted the weapons used in the civil war to create an HWPL peace monument and wished for peace on the divided Korean Peninsula, resonated with the hearts of the audience and applauded.

The film highlights the HWPL civilian peace agreement ceremony held in Mindanao General Santos City, Philippines on January 24, 2014.

The Chairman Lee Man-hee brought together leaders and locals from both sides who were at the center of the Mindanao conflict. He asked them to raise their hands if they wanted peace, and when all the participants raised their hands, Lee led the two leaders to sign for peace.

Upon hearing the news of the peace agreement, government forces and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) finally agreed on the final annex of the preliminary peace agreement on January 25, and the civil war was effectively ended with the signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) in March 2014.

The Chairman Lee Man-hee said “We are a family of peace that will achieve peace born in this era. Do you want conflict or peace?”

All people shouted “PEACE!”

HWPL’s sincere efforts and the Chairman Lee’s sincerity made a dramatic peace, which was considered a challenge that could never be solved.

It’s a dangerous place for terrorism and accidental danger. The situation in the Philippines is not easy to push ahead with work among soldiers with guns. Even in such a place, not everyone can risk death to enter. I was really touched by this.

One field participant said, “The first overseas volunteer destination I went to was the Philippines, and I personally found it fascinating to see the first scene people cheering. Since our country is a divided country, we should be more interested in peace than anyone else.

But I really felt that Filipinos are more interested in peace activities than anyone else. After watching this preview, I felt that peace was really coming, so I thought about various activities, including small things and talking about joining together.”

The miracle of peace achieved by everyone being united is recorded as a “great legacy” in later generations. I hope we can all be messengers of peace.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

There are still people walking for peace. What is their motive?

Is your hobby walking? A person who walks more than 30 minutes a day is definitely more likely to be healthy.
It can absorb vitamin D, makes you feel much better, and helps with blood circulation.

I think each person has a different reason to walk.
Someone walks for health, someone for enlightenment, and someone to shake off negative emotions.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE There are still people walking for peace. What is their motive? manheelee peace leader Man Hee Lee biography hwpl peace walk #525_peacewalk

There are people walking for peace right here.
As one of the peace lovers, I’m also walking, pondering why they walk.

On May 25 this year, people started walking offline again. I’ve been interested in the people of hwpl for a long time, they proceeded online during the COVID-19.

I’ve seen countless people in Santiago walking for their own enlightenment, someone for sightseeing.
But many of the people walking for peace seem to be hwpl people.

HWPL’s 10th Annual Commemoration of
the Declaration of World Peace and
the Peace Walk

There are so many pictures of them on the blog so far. Sometimes when I look back at the gallery, it’s even touching.

Why on earth do they walk? What drives them?

Why do people in HWPL get together especially more often?
I think it is because there is a centripetal force that strongly gathers them.

I think it is because there is the chairman Lee Man-hee, a soldier who experienced the Korean War and shouted for peace while touring around the world more than 30 times, and he tries to achieve peace without a break even at the age of 90.

If someone like the chairman lee man-hee takes the lead, can you stay still? How passionate he is!

If you have a chance someday, I hope you listen to him. There is a powerful force in what he says.

You can hear it here. I think it is best to experience peace in person. If you don’t experience it in a small moment in your daily life, I think you can never achieve the peace that is ideally expressed.

On the same day, various areas in the Philippines held simultaneous events in partner schools and communities particularly in Cavite, Laguna, Lucban, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija and Cotabato City.

My hobby is taking a walk, so I walk again today. It feels good to walk while thinking about whether it is a walk for peace.

I’ll try today so that it’s not just self-satisfied. Please cheer for us.
I want you to be a messenger of peace, too.
