“KHMS (Kulachi Hansraj Model School, established in 1972 in India with 7,000 students) has decided to include the
HWPL Peace Curriculum
in its classes from last year, a systematic course in which the lessons of empathy, kindness, and peace necessary for this era are properly structured,” said Mrs. Rashmi Kathuria, Supervisory Head of the school that trained 9 educators for peace education.
HWPL, an international NGO aimed at peace projects, has been actively conducting peace education and educator training in 53 countries despite the outbreak of pandemic. More than 2,000 people from 31 countries participated in the peace educator training program and over 400 of them were appointed as formal peace educators.
Ms. Faiza Waris, a teacher at American Lyceum International school Kahna Campus in Pakistan, who completed the Program expressed,
“As an educator, this lecture presented answers to many questions that I pondered every day, and it was nice to be able to think more openly by sharing ideas and interacting with many colleagues. I also felt that I wanted to teach my students properly so that their religion would not be misunderstood or that would harm the peace.”’
“The 9th lesson of the 12 in the peace education textbook,
‘Courtesy towards Adults,’
was to return the love received from parents, and taught to express the gratitude for the passion and sacrifices the teachers make. To show the appreciation to their parents and teachers, we are trying to get the students to help with housework or write a thank-you note to express their feelings.”, Mrs. Kanta Saadat, the principal of Singapore School Kinderland in Bangladesh also commented.
In particular, Ms. Firoza Muradi, a teacher at Mukhtar School in Afghanistan said,
“I love the ‘Forgiveness’ class,
which shows how peace can help people who are hurting and suffering. I have become more committed to supporting peace.
My goal is to become a peace educator, and HWPL Peace Education is a curriculum that correlates to the expectations of the teachers that I wish for. I wish for my students to be able to work for peace as they continue this education.
Then we will be able to make a link of peace network
in Afghanistan.”’

HWPL’s peace work is unprecedented. I sincerely hope it will continue with great vigour into 2022 and beyond, as it seems peace and stability is needed now more than ever in these uncertain times. More than 30,000 people from 157 countries attended the 7th Anniversary HWPL World Peace Summit online on Sept. 18th 2021, and more than 200 schools worldwide have been designated HWPL Peace Academies, educating today's youth on the importance of peace.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, many 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. The words of H.E. Viktor Yushchenko, former President of Ukraine, sums up the importance of the DPCW very well: “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 the words, 'We are One!' ring true as a lasting history✌️
