Peace Camp with F.R.E.E Refugees
On 19 June, a peace camp was hosted in the
Friends of Refugees Providing Education and Empowerment (F.R.E.E) center in
Clarkston, Georgia.
This refugee
center is an organization that aids young
refugees aged five to fifteen by providing education and resources. This work is
currently focused on the youths of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and
Chad.
#MYANMAR
Chad is a
country that has suffered from colonization and civil war for many years. In
particular, due to the migration of refugees from neighboring countries, there are various races,
religions, and languages residing in this country.
However, the
power struggles and conflicts caused by diversity led to civil war, which
threatens many lives, and the people suffered the pain of having to leave their
homeland to another country.
Additionally,
Myanmar continues to suffer from the
Myanmar civil war, and
there are many people who migrated to other countries to avoid the pain caused
by the war.

The refugee youths of these two countries who have suffered
from the pain of war are desperate for a future of peace. Because they are still
experiencing war to this day, it is important to let them know that peace can
be achieved.
#HWPL
That is why
HWPL and F.R.E.E hosted a peace camp. Through this camp, children who witnessed civil war are
educated with programs on how to overcome war and conflicts, on
who should create a world of peace, and on how and through what it can be
achieved.

During the
camp, the children were able to learn the main point of the first lesson of the
HWPL Peace Education: “diversity” and “harmony.”
They learned the importance of harmony
through creating a painting with different colors.
Furthermore,
they learned how to cooperate and harmonize with children of different physical
conditions by playing soccer together.
Through
these activities, the students learned the possibility of peace by interacting
with friends from different countries. Although these were activities done in
camp, if
these peace awareness activities and education continue, students will be able
to grow into those who can fulfill
peace.
HWPL
will help students become peace citizens who practice peace in their everyday
lives and no longer live in the pain of war.

This is beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteMany heads of state - both existing and former - have publicly declared their support for HWPL's Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), citing it as the only solution to ceasing all conflict and achieving peace on a global scale. In the words of H.E. Viktor Yushchenko, former President of Ukraine: “The DPCW is a perfect and balanced document that can be the basis of solidarity for peacekeeping in all countries of the world. I think all the leaders of the countries should support the DPCW.”
May peace prevail throughout the world!✌
