We make Peace.

There are people out there, who is suffering. Nowadays, people see and hear about the news of sufferings in the world. And get to think "We need Peace", "Peace should happen fast".
But, I want to ask all the people who's hoping for peace.
"What actions must be done for true peace?"
Peace that we are hoping, doesn't happen by just hoping. There must be following actions to achieve it. What is the actions for true peace?
Think of Mother Teresa, people who is doing the actions for it. There are people who is working for peace who are unknown to others (or unknown works). And for that, I want to tell that we should pay attention to the work what they've done.


There are lots of people and relief-associations who are putting lot of efforts to achieve peace.
As for celebrities, There are many unknown relief activities. 



Leonardo DiCaprio established his own foundation called The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, which raises environmental awareness. He donated 1 million dollars as a response to help those afflicted by the 2010 Haiti earthquake. DiCaprio is a member of the board of three environmental agencies: Natural Resources Defense Council, International Fund for Animal Welfare, and Global Green U.S.A.



Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt established the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which has donated millions globally. Jolie, herself, is a UN Goodwill Ambassador and has been on field missions in different parts of the world personally meeting with refugees. Pitt, on the other hand, works with Global Green U.S.A.



Selena Gomez was one among those who donated to the Celebrity Charity Sandy Relief Auction. Among her humanitarian involvement is Raise Hope for Congo which raises awareness against violence on Congolese women. Selena is the ambassador for DoSomething.org, and spokesperson both for the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF and Borden Milk.



George Clooney, his humanitarian efforts in Darfur, Sudan caught the world's attention. And donated to the International Rescue Committee. After the destructive Haiti earthquake, together with MTV, George Clooney hosted a two-hour telethon to raise donations for the affected Haitians.

As for peace advocators, people have heard their names but not their works.

Well know advocator Nelson Mandela, had great works for relief movement in his life. He established the the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (NMCF) and etc,. Nelson Mandela spent more than 67 years fighting for the rights of humanity. He had work for children and women in Africa. 



Lastly, theres one who is uprising as peace advocator, Man Hee Lee. As he is working privately, he is trying hard looking for children in difficult countries, to help as relief activity. These days, he had relief activities for Mayan and children in Africa.



There are still many people who is working for peace. But people doesn't know that. They are not familiar about the actions for peace. So, as for our homework, We should know how people are working to achieve it. And we should let the world know how they are working for true peace to be happen. 
Also for another homework, even it's not a huge thing, we should participate and join the actions together for it. Because without our effort, it will be meaningless when peace actually happens.
