Peace in Mindanao

     Do you know the person in the middle in this picture? He is the one who helped to conclude a peace treaty in Mindanao, Philippines. This was the end of the religious conflict over 40 years. He did what the Philippines government couldn’t do for a long time. He went some. He is the peace leader today in the world, who works for peace, Man Hee Lee.

     He works in a private peace organization though out the world. He visited America, Europe, Africa, South America, South east America and many other countries doing peace movements. He goes around the world meeting the presidents and religious leaders to gather their hearts about peace. To convince people sign on the written agreement for the combination of the religion and the cessation of war.

     Mr. Lee is an octogenarian. Can you believe this? With his activities he doesn’t look like a person with his age. With a few visit abroad, he is known as ‘world peace leader’, ‘peace maker’. The reason he went to Philippines Mindanao is that, one of the archbishop ask Mr. Lee to come to Mindanao to help him a few times before.

     Mr. Lee led the peace walk in Mindanao though out the city. It was the first peace walk with the students from Mindanao state university, International youth association, and with religious leaders over 1000 people participated.

     The help that Mr. Lee gave to the people in Philippines moved the hearts of the citizens. This gave hope and peace to people so from the media, press, and to the broadcasting programs peace movement rose.

     After the peace walk, the participants gathered in a hotel and took a speech about peace together. Everyone gave a standing ovation when Man Hee Lee spoke about the realizable plan for peace. The leader of the Catholic said “I want to work with Mr. Lee”, and with the Islam leader they signed the written agreement about ‘the combination of the religion and the cessation of war’. The promise, not make the conflict again, made the historical peace agreement a success.

     It became a big issue about this peace agreement because it was an agreement the peace leader from another country made. If it wasn’t Man Hee lee, Mindanao would maybe still suffer in war and conflicts. If so, there will be still tears and pain from people who wants peace. For the people who want peace all over the world, I hope Man Hee lee, the peace leader can be the bridge and be the help for everyone. And we must help him to make the world a better place with happiness and laughter.

Our hope is unification and peace with the peace leader’s hand!

 Think that you are a girl who lives in Mindanao Philippines. The religious conflict is happening everywhere you go, even in the streets. What will the living of the resident be like? Imagine people with their guns and weapon beware of others. The children who live in that area will be full of fear and terror instead of hope and joy. They will want the war to end and hope the peace comes to their lives. Free from the guns and hatred.

  Also Korea is now divided into the North and South. To be unified and be one national is everyone’s  dream. Like the peace leader Man Hee Lee, who helped to make Mindanao’s peace treaty can also bring peace to the divided peninsula. Because he knows the way peace can come to us. The Mindanao war lasted for over 40 years. Also after the Korea War, it has been over 60 years of division in Korea. But this will not last long. Mr. Lee brings peace though out his words and works with the material of the sky to fulfill peace. Peace will come so soon.
