'HWPL Peace Education' blooming in Israel, Palestine, India and Cambodia

'HWPL Peace Education' blooming in Israel, Palestine, India and Cambodia




There are two countries that suffer the pain of conflict due to religious and historical conflicts. These are Israel and Palestine. What will it take to resolve the pain of this conflict and dispute? This is peace education. A peace education event was held in Israel to resolve the conflict for students from these two countries. This event was held through the international peace NGO organization, Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL, Chairman Man Hee Lee). HWPL is actively carrying out peace education projects in many countries, including Israel, India, and Cambodia, striving for the cessation of war and world peace.





◆ Peace Education Camp


On March 29, 2019, the Israel-Palestinian Peace Education Camp was held. The subjects of the Peace Education Camp were students who will cope with peace. About 150 students and educators attended the camp. During the camp schedule, participants had time to discover their peace-loving heart through sharing the feelings after seeing war and peaceful photos, and proceeded with the 'Peace Letter Campaign' and 'Handprinting'. In particular, the 'Peace Letter Campaign' is being implemented as part of a plan to urge the establishment of international peace, and this peace letter is being delivered to national leaders and UN ambassadors in 193 countries.





Let's take a look at the reactions of the organizers and participants of this peace education camp.


1. As HWPL's peace education goes hand in hand, students are learning more about how to accept each other. Events like this should be held more often in Israel and Palestine, and even in other countries.


2. Under the slogan of 'We Are One', the spirit of peace could be planted in the hearts of the students entrusted to us. I think the camp was really good because not only were the students happy, but I was able to convey the message of peace that peace education wanted to convey to all participants.


3. I was very happy to be one of the students selected to participate in this wonderful event. It was an opportunity to build good relationships with new students and I think peace should be a part of every activity we do.





◆ MOU signing


City Montessori officials who attended the event signed an MOU with HWPL. Through this MOU, HWPL's peace education program will be provided and implemented in schools. City Montessori School said that they fully support HWPL's peace activities. They also expressed support for HWPL's peace projects as well as peace education. After this day, continuous exchanges between City Montessori School and HWPL continued, and a peace walk for world peace and cessation of war was held with about 2,000 students and judges in attendance. HWPL's peace education teaches students to correctly recognize the value of peace and to cultivate that spirit so that they can play a pioneering role in spreading a culture of peace.





◆ Launching the Peace Education Committee, hosted by the Cambodian Ministry of Education


The '2019 Cambodia HWPL Peace Education Committee Launching Ceremony' was held hosted by the Ministry of Education of Cambodia. About 1,000 people attended the launching ceremony, including the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Education and Youth Sports, the HWPL Peace Delegation, Cambodian education officials and students. At this event, the HWPL Peace Education Committee was appointed and specific activity plans for peace education were discussed. 19 Cambodian schools and universities signed a 'Peace School MOU' with HWPL and promised to promote peace education throughout Cambodia.





This is the reaction of the people involved in the launch of the Peace Education Committee.


1. I believe that this event to promote education of peace value will enable students to clearly know and realize the value of peace, share the learned knowledge with each other, and participate in the work of achieving national and world peace.


2. HWPL has MOA for peace education and peace school with 189 schools in 20 countries around the world, including Indonesia, the Philippines, and the United States. In particular, this committee was organized under the Ministry of Education expecting to participate in researching and planning a peace curriculum that can instill the spirit of peace in students who are the future leaders.


3. Peace education, one of HWPL's peace projects, is to nurture individuals with the spirit and values of peace. Schools designated as HWPL Peace Schools conduct peace education programs every semester.

HWPL’s 7th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)

March 15, 2023 0 Comments

HWPL’s 7th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of
Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) 




HWPL’s 7th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) was held on Mar. 14, 2023. This event was held to seek ways to establish peace as an institution for the purpose of preventing, mediating, and resolving global conflicts. This is also the reason why the enactment of the DPCW is necessary. Currently, the world is experiencing the most conflicts since World War II. A typical example is the war between Russia and Ukraine. However, even before the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) was announced, there were places where the contents of the DPCW were already realized. It is Mindanao, Philippines.



Prior to the announcement of the DPCW, Mindanao, Philippines was a conflict area with more than 120,000 deaths for over 40 years. This conflict was caused by a military clash between the Philippine government and the Moro people (Muslims), but now the conflict is over and they are now walking the path of peace. After the DPCW was announced, Mindanao took the lead in practicing the DPCW. HWPL started a popular peace movement. This peace movement is centered on civil society, including education, religion, youth, and women. In addition, HWPL also worked hard to strengthen public awareness of peace through peace education and interreligious communication.




HWPL was convinced that conflict could be turned into peace through the International Law of Peace. The proof is that HWPL has contributed to building long-term peace in Mindanao, Philippines. Mindanao, Philippines declared January 24, the date of the civil peace agreement, as 'HWPL Peace Day'. In addition, monuments commemorating the peace agreement have been erected throughout the Philippines. The DPCW proposes 10 articles and 38 clauses as measures to prevent and resolve conflicts between and within countries. I hope that the DPCW will be enacted as an international law as soon as possible so that the war between Russia and Ukraine will end.

'Teacher beheaded' France shocked to terror... remembrance spread 'Protecting freedom of expression'

'Teacher beheaded' France shocked to terror... 
Remembrance spread 'Protecting freedom of expression'


A French history teacher who taught a class related to "freedom of expression' was found beheaded on street near Paris being shocked. The suspect was Chechen refugee and shot by the police near the murder site. A few days before the crime, one parent posted the teacher's personal information and school address on Social Network Services and becoming controversy. Fellow teachers were determined to continue teaching freedom of speech without giving in to the terrible beheadings. Citizens foretold one after another of rallies of solidarity and resistance across France.   

On the 16th, local media such as Daily Le Parisian reported that Samuel Petty(47), middle school history teacher, was murdered near school in Kongplan Santorin, Evelyn Province. When the victim taught about freedom of expression in class on the 5th, the discussion was conducted using caricature by Charlie Hebdo based on the Islamic prophet Muhammad facing with backlash from some parents.


A disgruntled family filed a lawsuit against Petty. Petty responded back to charges against defamation. But, there were also parents who defended Petty. Petty also showed satirical cartoon of Charlie Hebdo as a part of a history class. Petty respected Muslim students giving them permission to leave the classroom if the wanted. As his class became controversial, Petty received several blackmail calls at school. Petty felt the threat and used residential area when leaving work rather than a usual path.


By a report by AFP on the 17th, the suspect was Abdullah A(18) from Chechen. He was staying in France as a refugee. Shortly after the crime, He posted a post on Twitter saying "I executed a demon who neglects Muhammad" along with a picture of the victim. Abdullah was killed by the bullets shot by police near the murder scene. According to eyewitness accounts, he shouted the Quran phrase meaning "God is the greatest." before he was killed. 


President Emmanuel Macron called for strong civil solidarity against terrorism at the site visited late this night saying "One of our comrades was murdered for teaching freedom of expression, freedom of faith and disbelief."

A few days before the incident, it was revealed that the parents of this school revealed the victim's name and school address on social media. A parent who was dissatisfied with Petty's class sued him and uploaded his identity followed by a tragedy. Eventually, the parents were arrested. 

Prosecutor Jean Francois Reciard of the France's National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutors' Office(PNAT) said that he is investigating whether the crime is planned or whether there is an accomplice. Prosecutor Reciard added about this case saying "It shows the seriousness of terrorism which France faces."

The French Secondary Teacher's Union said on the 17th "Many teachers are in grief. But, we will not be shrunken. We will continue to teach freedom of expression. We will not avoid even if the topic is difficult. We will encourage students' criticism. We will try to convey that everyone has the right to object."

The French were once again angry because they recalled the incident in 2015 when Charlie Hebdo used Muhammad as the subject of satirical cartoon became a target of Muslims ending up killing 12 people in the editorial office in a gut terrorist attack. In front of the school where Petty was beheaded, hundreds of citizens decorated white roses in commemoration. Rally will be held in Place de la République, Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Strasbourg, Nantes, Marseille, rill and Bordeaux.

'Gas stations will change'... 4 oil refinery company, started charging business for electric vehicle

 'Gas stations will change'... 
4 oil refinery company, started 
charging business for electric vehicle


In Korea, we have 4 oil refinery company such as SK energy, GS Caltex, Hyundai Oilbank and S-Oil. These companies established a service system with charger manufacturers and charging service companies in order to convert their gas stations to electric vehicle charging station. It is part of a future strategy to respond to the growing demand for electric vehicles.

The oil refining industry is planning to gradually convert the existing gas station to an charging station from next year. All 4 refineries established a cooperation system with electric vehicle charger manufacturers and charging service companies. Is has begun to convert gas stations nationwide into electric vehicle charging stations. Now, we can experience the change in the era of electric vehicles when looking at all four refineries have secured necessary service technologies and product for the electric vehicle charging business. 

Most of refineries have partners and are making models in the form of directly operating charging stations. According to the service business strategy for each company, they plan to establish systematization of charging facilities and service models in its own form from next year. 

As the electric vehicle market is still in its infancy, through government subsidy projects minimizing initial investment, they plan to gradually increase the amount of conversion to ultra fast chargers at charging stations according to electric vehicle demand. SK energy will install and operate 190 charging stations by 2023. GS Caltex will build 160 and Hyundai Oilbank will build 200. From 2022 onwards, the conversion of charging stations is expected to accelerate considering the situation in which there are only a few electric vehicle models capable of super fast charging of 300kW or higher. 

These four refineries plan to expand not only gas stations but also distribution to charging service infrastructure while specializing in specific rates and service systems for corporate customers such as freight electric trucks and electric taxis.

Self-massage using massage ball

 Self-massage using massage ball


With the development of science such as the AI industry, our lives have become more convenient. But, as the frequency of movement of the body decreases, the importance of exercise is being emphasized. Many people know that maintaining the right posture and proper exercise is essential. Including me, it is hard to practice and the amount of exercise decreases. As the posture collapses, it is exposed to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and this causes pain throughout the body. In order to solve these problems, it is important to perform prevention and treatment such as massage, stretching and physical therapy when it is needed. Today I'd like to introduce you the representative areas that needs massage and how to do self-massage. 

How can I recover my unstable body?
Typical musculoskeletal disease include turtle neck, round shoulder, twisted spine and pelvis. If you use a cellphone or computer for a long time, you may get an imbalance in your body. When the body's alignment becomes unstable, certain parts become tense and others may weaken. In this case, the weakened part should be restored to the muscle function. And tensioned areas should be relieve by stretching or massaging. At this time, you can use your hands but you can use a tool called a 'self-massage ball' for more efficient massage. 
Features of self massage ball
The self-massage ball is aimed at relaxing muscles through compression. Because of this, it has a solid and round shape for rolling. The shape is largely divided into two types which single and double. By the way, I personally have both types. The double massage ball can be used to accurately massage the area where both sides are symmetrical around the spine. 
Single Massage Ball : It is a generally known round ball shape that allows intensive massage to areas that are difficult to reach. (Recommended areas : sole, calves, buttocks, thighs, arms)
Double Massage Ball :  It has two single balls attached to it. And, the middle part is a little apart making it look like a peanut. Therefore, it helps to avoid feeling awkward when massaging the back, waist, and pelvis while lying down. (Recommended area : pelvis, waist, back, scapula(between wing bones), under the back of the head, armpits)
Let's take care of yourself anywhere with a massage ball
Body discomfort can come anytime anywhere. In particular, physical discomfort caused by long-term desk work in the office must be managed. Put a massage ball in your bag or keep it in your office drawer and do a self-massage during breaks. You can prevent musculoskeletal disorders and body pain by pressing your body down as you normally do. 
(I'd like to share personal experience. I have all kinds of massage ball including peanut ball and single ball. I prefer trigger point massage ball or literally tennis ball worked good for me. I massage about an hour after work. I have all kinds of pain around neck, shoulder, back, pelvis and hip joint. Without these, I cant even get up next morning. You will be able to find out more video online. Enjoy!)
