Driving Force Behind HWPL Peace Education
One influential figure shaping the landscape of peace education in Bangladesh is Dr. Mabubul Rahaman Mollah, the principal of Shamshul Haque Khan School. Dr. Mollah's enthusiasm for HWPL Peace Education stems from witnessing the dedicated efforts of HWPL's Chairman, Man Hee Lee, during the 2014 World Peace Summit. Dr. Mollah’s commitment led him to become an HWPL promotional ambassador and organize mini-world peace conferences in collaboration with the International Peace Youth Peace (IPYG), an affiliated group of HWPL. Dr. Mollah's belief in the transformative power of HWPL peace education prompted him to integrate it into the school curriculum, marking the beginning of peace education in Bangladesh.
