War and destruction

Remembers the fateful attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki....

View of ground zero in Hiroshima showing total destruction

On August 6, 1945, the US dropped the world's first atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan. More than 140,000 people died in the devastating blast which killed, maimed and traumatized civilians in the city for decades to come. Three days later, the Americans dropped a second bomb on Nagasaki that killed about 40,000 more and left a trail of destruction in its wake.

The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki became known for cancers, premature births and malformed babies. Survivors of the bombing and their families were shunned; the effects of the bomb blast outlived its survivors. This week the world remembers the fateful attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which changed the world forever.

The Chairman of HWPL, Man Hee Lee,  said in his Declaration of the World Peace speech

"what price can compensate for the loss of a life?"  HWPL amd Mr. Man hee Lee advocate world peace through youth engagement, women's empowerment,  community building, leaders coalition,  and inter religions activities. There should not be a one life lost for meaningless war again.
