As Mr. Man Hee Lee, the chairman of HWPL, spreads his message of peace, the people of the global community are starting to respond to his message in their own ways. Although they may not be able to travel around the world like Mr. Lee to spread the message of peace, they are changing the community that they live.
It is hard for one small stream to change a lake, however, if a lake, which holds the source to the water, it is able to change all the streams and rivers that it supports with water. As the world is starting to recognize the need for peace, especially after the WARP Summit, people are taking charge in changing their communities.
For the case of people in Mindanao, after the agreement between the two religious communities, the people in this community hosted peace walk and also built the peace monument. We hope to see more communities in the world following the example of the community in Mindanao.
