ending at the Seoul Olympic Park, representing the world’s seven continents and the Republic of Korea 

– the place where world peace is being fulfilled.

During the event, a declaration of peace 

was read by Mr. Man Hee Lee, the Chairman 

of the Heavenly Culture, World Peace and the Restoration of Light. His address comprised 

a request to nations to join in the signing 

of an international agreement to end all wars,

but also in Belarus and the whole world”, 

said Atif Javaid from the United Kingdom said, 

“it is a wake-up call for world leaders,

the public does not want war but wants

 to become one family and we are taking action

Be not afraid, 

for I am with you all the while

So lift your head up high

We feel the beating of our hearts together

This our time to rise above

We know the chance is here 

to live forever For all time

Hand in hand we stand

All across the land

We can make this world 

a better place in which to live

Hand in hand we can

Start to undrestand

Breaking down the walls 

that come between us for all time

Everytime we give it all

We feel the flame eternally inside us

Lift our hands up to the sky

The morning calm helps us

to live in harmony

For all time

Nelson Mandela

 Nelson Mandela

“Death is something inevitable. 

When a man has done what he considers 

to be his duty to his people and his country,

 he can rest in peace,”

Although Mandela served only one term 

as South Africa's president (1994-1999),

 his lifelong struggle to right 

the ills of racism, poverty, and injustice

 transformed him into an international hero 

with an almost god-like quality.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was the son of 

one of South Africa's leading dignitaries, 

Chief Henry Mandela of the Tembu Tribe, 

He passed away on 5 December 2013 

of a lung infection at his home 

in Johannesburg. He was 95 years old.

A towering figure in 20th century history, 

Nobel Laureate Nelson Mandela showed 

how wisdom and patience can triumph 

over bigotry and brute force. 

Truly the Father of a Nation.

Courage is not the absence of fear 

— it s inspiring others to move beyond it.

After climbing a great hill, one only finds

 that there are many more hills to climb.

One Mind, One heart

   One Mind, One heart

The world has forgotten

What we should be working for

The common good, the collective

No kill or be killed, survival of the fittest

Team work needs to triumph

Love your neighbor, hug your brother

Shake hands with another color

No guilt, no shame

When we all work for the same

One world, one quest

All hearts beating as one

No republican or democrat

Only Homo sapien, human

Only skin, bones, and brain

All individuals, yet the same.

Everyone cries, the pain too much

Laughter breaks the silence

Clumsy feet, tumbling down

A hand outstretched for assistance

The wealthy hate the uneducated

They look down their noses

When they should be teaching

Saving lives, not pitying

Feed the horde, cover naked flesh

Share what is in abundance

Even just a healthy smile

Comfort your fellows, your blood family

Show love for everybody

An eye for an eye

Leaves a room full of blind men

Forgive but do not forget

There are no lepers

There is no I

There is only us, we

One mind, one heart

Beat

Breathe

Live

Ban Ki-moon in South Sudan Urging Leaders to Dialogue for Peace 

The United Nations Secretary-General is

 in South Sudan to urge the country's leaders 

to find peace through dialogue.

Africa's newest nation has been in crisis 

since December 2013 following a power struggle

 between the president and his former deputy.

Ban Ki-moon told journalists he was there 

"with a sad and heavy heart", after visiting displaced

 persons sheltering in the UN Mission's compound.

Mr Ban also met with the President of South Sudan, Salva Kiir.

He said he was encouraged by Mr Kiir's willingness

 to dialogue with his opponent and 

former Vice-President, Riek Machar.

” I think it is absolutely necessary at this time, 

since this crisis has begun from political issues, 

that President Salva Kiir and Dr. Machar sit down 

together to address this issue through dialogue, 

in a peaceful way. That is what I am strongly supporting. “

The Secretary-General also received a call from Dr Machar.

Over the phone, Ban Ki-moon stressed 

the two leaders' responsibility to sit down together

 and address the crisis.

Dr Machar and President Kiir are expected to be 

in Addis Ababa on 9 May for a meeting of 

the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).

In the meantime, Mr Ban said the UN is committed

 to providing assistance to the people of South Sudan,

 and hopes that peace will prevail as soon as possible.
