By Simon Deng
The representative of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) – a South Korean Peace organization, Daehee Yoem has arrived in South Sudan to push for reconciliation through peace education.
“Our visit to South Sudan is to introduce love for peace for high ranking officials in South Sudan, and also bring some peace activities regarding peace education and youth empowerment programs right to the peace NGOs in South Sudan as well,” Yoem told journalists on Sunday at Juba International Airport.
He said that HWPL is looking forward to working with the government as well as peace loving citizens to bring about sustainable peace in the country.
Yoem revealed that HWPL will be working with local communities including public and private schools.
“We are actually targeting not one particular group or organization, everyone can join us, if South Sudan can lead in HWPL peace activities here, South Sudan can be such a good example of other countries in Africa or other countries in the world,” he said.
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light was founded on 4 June 2013. HWPL facilitates comprehensive grassroots peace building that involves diverse voices of the community, leaders in education, governmental and religious sectors, as well as non-profit organisations and youth to create sustainable solutions and empower individuals and communities to be an integral part in global peacebuilding.
