The HWPL organization was founded in 2013 by Chairman Lee Man-hee, a Korean spiritual leader who has been leading an international peace movement called the “Peace One Day” campaign. The organization focuses on promoting interfaith dialogue and peace education, as well as engaging in various peace-related activities and events.

Overall, the 10th annual peace walk was a significant step in promoting the need for global peace and unity, and it is hoped that it will inspire more people to join the movement for world peace.
