Mr. Michael Hygaard and
Mr. Pollant Jabavu Mpofu, are "Global
Peace Ambassadors", commissioned to represent WP1 and
its culture, goals and objectives, to individuals, organizations,
corporations and governments throughout the world. WP1-10's aim
is to end all war and to move humanity toward unity, diplomacy,
equality, cooperation, prosperity and lasting peace:
- Through its Ten Annual Global Television, Radio,
Internet and Streaming Cellular Broadcasts to over 180 countries;
- Through the creation of a "Global Brain
Trust" that will preside over 10 Annual "World Peace
One-Ten Symposiums."
- Through the creation of a "Department
of Peace" in every government, religion, corporation, school
and university in the world, (where possible);
- By launching its Ten-Region/Ten-Representative
"Global Peace Ambassador-General" program;
- By its pass-through "Grants Programs,"
in support of other viable peace organizations, campaigns, programs
and initiatives, such as "Doctors Without Borders,"
"War-Child," "Save the Children," and other
established pro-peace/pro-relief organizations;
- Through its WP1-10, culture to culture "Friendship,
Respect and Tolerance" program for people of all walks of
life throughout the world;
- Through its "Peace and Conflict Resolution
Curriculum Development" for Schools and Universities throughout
the world;
- Through "Emergency Humanitarian Aid"
(shelter, food, water and financial) programs and relief efforts.
- Through the creation of WP1's "Forgiveness
Council," for mature and sympathetic religious, spiritual,
social and global activists and dignitaries, who affirm that the
only way to unity, respect, friendship, equality, tolerance and
peace, is by choosing "The Path of Kindness, Compassion and
Forgiveness."
- Through the WP1 "Eco-Peace" program
and worldwide effort to curb "predatory economic practices"
and to bring an end to humanity's "Undeclared War on Nature."
It has become a point of
pride for many countries, cultures and peoples to join WP1 in our
common call and Ten-Year Initiative to bring an end to all wars,
in favor of securing true and lasting peace for all people, especially
for the children of present and future generations. In collaboration
with WP1, Mr. Hygaard and Mr. Mpofu are authorized to secure venues,
appoint public relations agencies of international standing,
recruit event fund raising experts, enter into agreement with Corporate
Sponsors (Global & Local), Broadcasters, journalists and established
news reporters, as well as secure appropriate financial donations
and/or contributions to the WP1 501(c)(3) charitable, non-profit
organization.
Further, as WP1 Ambassadors, Mr. Hygaard and Mr.
Mpofu are invited to collaborate with WP1 to identify prospective
high-level dignitaries to serve as Official WP1 Global Peace Ambassadors.
As dignitaries, WP1 welcomes the endorsements, as well as direct
participation from His Eminence, former President Nelson Mandela,
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan,
former U.S. President Jim Carter, Ms. Mary Robinson former President
of Ireland on Human Rights, Mr. Kenneth Kaunda (1st President of
Zambia), former Danish States-Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, Mikael
Gorbachev (1st and only President of the USSR), former President
of Nigeria Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo, former President Bill Clinton,
Rt. Hon. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, (first female President Liberia),
Gro Harlen Brudtland, (first female Prime Minister of Norway), Mr.
Claes Nobel, Mr. Richard Branson, Mr. Bill Gates, Mr. Carlos Slim
Helú, Prime Ministers, Presidents and Chancellors of all
countries and o ther government leaders and mayors in our World
Peace efforts, to consider them respectfully, as potential candidates
for WP1's Ten-Regional Global Ambassador-Generals.
The role of the Chambers of Commerce is pivotal
to support such events, so are the Trade Union Representatives in
their own right and academicians, economists and financial experts
to provide economic and financial acumen to WP1 and its Ten Year
Global Peace Initiative. Although World Peace requires inspiration,
aspiration and human initiative, people of faith have always recognized
that Peace can only be achieved by Divine Grace. In concert with
WP1, Mr. Hygaard and Mr Mpofu will be tasked to appoint interfaith
religious and spiritual leaders to open and end the events in prayer.
Bishop Tutu for example, could lead such a process, but there is
a need to appoint a group of such highly distinguished and respected
interfaith men and women to serve in such capacity.
On December 8, 2007, WP1 will launch its first historic, 24-hour
worldwide television, radio, internet and streaming cellular broadcast,
expected to reach an audience of three-billion people. WP1 recognizes
no enemy and works on behalf of collective humanity's graduation
from war and from its paradigms and practices of division and destruction,
in favor of a safer, saner, more equitable, cooperative and prosperous
future.
In Service to Earth and Humanity, World Peace
