Friday, May 22, 2015

Pretoria - South Africa will join the international community next Monday to host the second Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace at Freedom Park, Pretoria.

Hosted by Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (“HWPL”), together with Freedom Park and the National Interfaith Council of South Africa (NICSA), the event is to bring all Africans together under one banner of peace and promote the message: AFRICA – We are one!

This event is a commemoration of the day when the Declaration of World Peace was proclaimed by the Chairman of HWPL Man Hee Lee in South Korea, in 2013, in front of 30 000 youths from all around the world. 

Since this day, the declaration has become the standard and goal of HWPL around the globe and its members and affiliated organizations are making united efforts to achieve them. 

More than 200 000 youth and women from all around the world are expected to participate in the 2nd Annual Commemoration.

“The efforts of the South African branch of HWPL are being felt as this culture of peace is spreading around all the provinces of the country,” Freedom Park said in statement.

The first part of this event will host the “Peace This Together” Interfaith Dialogue where youth, women, political, and religious leaders will gather to discuss their religious texts regarding the topic of creation. 

The dialogue will be followed by a peace walk through grounds of Freedom Park.

The peace walk will lead into part three of the program where the World Peace Monument with the words of the World Peace Declaration engraved eternally on the stone will be unveiled. - SAnews.gov.za
