Man Hee Lee is the honorary chairman of MANNAM Volunteer Association.
He is the anchor of MANNAM Volunteer Association.
Those two representatives held another citizens’ festival to commemorate the 65th Korean Independence Day held August 14-August 15, 2010 at Seoul Olympics Peace Plaza. This event called the Festival of World Peace, Restoration of Light, and Victory, took place in front of the Peace Gate with about 200,000 spectators and several ambassadors from different countries.
This event, still considered as the flower of culture, has been something unprecedented until now. The large-scale palm-printed flag was put up high in the sky again on that day, and a laser show was performed on the background of this flag in the night sky of the event. The laser show portrayed how one person, who became a light, was added unto another light. The motto of the event was also displayed on the flag by the laser, which said, “When light meets light, there is victory.”
The chairman, Lee Man Hee, represented 33 people from various walks of life, and read aloud the declaration from the Korean Unification Monument. It seemed like the sky was going to explode by the hopeful shouts of the spectators. The Korean Unification Declaration Monuments are now standing both at the Goseong Unification Observatory, east frontlines [Korean border], and at the west frontlines, Imjingak.
Furthermore, Mannam hosted another festival to commemorate the 60th Korean War on June 26, 2010, at Sejong Cultural Center, Seoul. Korean War veterans and ambassadors from 60 Korean War participating and supporting countries were invited to cherish the memory of the deceased souls. As part of the preliminary events ahead of the actual commemoration, Mannam volunteers toured 21 locations at which the Korean War Memorial Monuments are situated including the UN Memorial Park in Busan.
The volunteers paid a silent tribute to the former war veterans. At the same time roughly 14,400 elementary school students from 17 different regions in South Korea participated in printing their thumbs to make national flags of the Korean War participating countries. These thumb-printed flags were presented to the ambassadors who were in attendance of the event.
On the day of the event, the ambassadors from 21 countries partook of creating a special bronze sculpture by agreeing to print their hands on it. The sculpture contains the determination from those ambassadors that they oppose warfare and desire to keep peace within this world. It is now being kept in the Yongsan War Memorial Museum, Seoul.
The participants also took part in creating a time capsule during the event. The time capsule contains the messages from the Korean War veterans, the messages of gratitude from the citizens, and the message that pictures the Korea that will have gained peace 10 years later, and so forth. This capsule is scheduled to be opened 10 years later in 2020.
The honorary chairman, Man Hee Lee and the representative, Kim Nam Hee have bound the globe as one and created Mannam International that surpasses borders, races, religions, and societies. They are leading the way of the volunteers worldwide. Who could possibly accuse them of wrongdoing unless insane?
In September 2012, the title of this event is “The 6th World Peace Restoration of Light Culture and Sports Festival.” It was held in Jamsil Olympic Main Stadium, Seoul. In fact, the gate of the stadium was closed for the last 24 years until last year this festival was held. Twelve flames of fire rose to the sky on the day of the festival, and the 200,000 spectators stored the flames in their eyes and hearts. As all the participants were united as one, the festival was truly a joyous event for both people and for the spirits.
More than any physical battles that kill people’s flesh, spiritual conflicts within religious organizations where people insult and label others as heretics are much cruel. Unlike those existing conflicts, the World Peace Festival truly showed the possibility of peace and the restoration of light. It was a place of unity where everyone held hands together, rising above the walls that used to separate them before.
this is what he did in MANNAM last year, 2012.
The event was just so new and different from other peace event or festivals.
The contents, people and everything was so new and that was so real peace.
There were many news jounalists and reporters from all the world and they got so impressed and have been asking the leaders of MANNAM(the chairman, Nam Hee Kim and the honorary chairman, Man Hee Lee) to come to their countries and have interviews.
Furthermore, they have been coming to South,Korea to see them for world peace.
Well...guys!! World peace is really happening:)
