The place where world peace is being fulfilled!


-World Peace Walk

Over 100 youth organizations from over 50 different nations, including youth leaders from Portugal, Greece, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Jordan, Belarus and Columbia and 27,000 local Korean citizens marched for peace in the International Youth Walk for World Peace and Restoration.

Hosted by the International Youth Group of World Peace, the 1.5km course was divided into seven sections, ending at the Seoul Olympic Park, representing the world’s seven continents and the Republic of Korea – the place where world peace is being fulfilled.
During the event, a declaration of peace was read by Mr. Man Hee Lee, peace advocate. His address comprised a request to nations to join in the signing of an international agreement to end all wars, an exhortation for the youth of the world to unite in making a stand for peace, and for all people to become more aware of the daily requirements of peace. He also appealed to journalists and members of the media to broadcast the event in an effort to encourage all members of society to stand together for peace.

Starting with Seoul in Korea, the International Youth Walk for World Peace is spreading over the world. Germany, Philippines, America and so on. Mr. Man hee Lee, peace advocate was welcomed wherever he went.
Most recently, Mr. Man hee Lee went to Mindanao in Philippines and a ground breaking peace walk of students from the University of Mindanao, youth associations, mayors and religious leaders filled downtown General Santos. The walk, held for the first time in the midst of high alerts of violence, transcended religions and nationalities and inspired the Filipino youth generation that peace is possible. Joining Mr. Man hee Lee was also Ms. Kim Nam Hee who is working with women leaders to advocate peace.

Man Hee Lee, peace advocate said, “As the light, rain, and air of heaven give life to all creation, let us love this world. Love will achieve world peace and restoration.”

Every move by the peace advocate, Man Hee Lee is drawing the attention of the people all around the world.
