🌍 One Heart, One World: Man Hee Lee’s Peace Story Spreads Across Continents ✨
🕊️ Key Point: Peace in action! From Africa to Europe to America, HWPL is connecting people through interfaith dialogue and helping refugees with real hands-on service.
🌈 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 Islamic Missionary Union), 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. 💞🌍
