Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), a South Korea-based international organization conducting peace activities for world peace and cessation of war is set to raise the awareness of peace through cooperation with both governments and non-governmental organizations, aiming to expand sustainable peace initiatives in every local community.
HWPL is associated with the UN DGC and ECOSOC.
The resolution was made at the just concluded HWPL Western Africa Peace Development Forum; 2024 Kick-off Meeting on Jan 27th.
HWPL Africa team showed the results of Western Africa Peace Initiatives from 2021 to 2023 during the meeting with a total of 119 people from 110 organizations participating.
Discussions at the meeting centred on how to achieve peace by holding a total of 12 times of HWPL Western Africa Peace Development Forum with leaders from various sectors of human rights organizations, international law, media, educational institutions, and youth groups.
As internal conflicts arising from various ethnic and religious disputes in western Africa, the representatives of Western Africa agreed on the potential of peace education to spread peace in communities. During the meeting, HWPL Peace Educator Empowerment Training was held to implement actual peace education.
As a result, through the training, 101 sessions in 2021 and 112 sessions in 2022 were implemented in Ghana and Nigeria.
The Executive Director of International Centre for Peace Charities and Human Development (INTERCEP) Clement Iorver Iornongu said since he has been participating in HWPL’s peace initiatives from 2020, adding that he has been able to deepen my understanding of the value of peace work.
He said that through its peace vision, HWPL can build a culture of peace fitting not only for children but also adults.
He pledged to ensure the realization of HWPL’s vision, as he will push for the adoption of the DPCW to the UN, so it can be considered by the international community.
Also, the Deputy Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria, Emeka Emmanuel Oguzie said he was impressed and motivated by the thousands of volunteers who were doing the work of peace.
