DMZ: Desperate place where we need to start peace

Desperate place where we need to start peace

Have you ever heard about DMZ? Korean Demilitarized Zone is in the middle of Korean peninsula diving one big nation as two country. It is now known as famous tour place. However, to Korean, whenever we see it, it reminds us of our sad history. DMZ is a place where people promise to remove all the weapons and preserve natures and also the people. Even though we don't feel any fear at that point, the war has not ceased yet and we cannot just stand there smiling. Some people might think of their father, children, loved ones who have separated during the war. Separating families and lovers are the most cruel thing that people could do. Like I mentioned before, DMZ is a place where they don't fight and be peaceful. However, how much people can feel peace on that place? That's why we need to build peace from that spot. Many people are desperate to have peace on the Earth. Not only Korea, there are some other places where they have these demilitarized zone. Let's bring peace in those places and never remind our sad history again. International Peace Youth Group is now working on this, and we will soon make this possible. Then, we can think of peaceful and happy thoughts whenever we see each other.

IPYG Victory Cup, achieving unity through Sports Tournament.

The definition of sport is 

noun.
1. an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against  another or others for entertainment.

2. a person who behaves in a good or specified way in response to teasing, defeat, or a similarly trying situation.

Wtih IPYG, I believe there are more meanings in the word of  'sport.'
Below is the news published on the Brunie Times regarding the Victory Cup Sport Tournament. This Victory Cup does not aim for to win others, but its main goal is to promote peace, reconciliation and harmony beyond the nation, race, religions and languages. It might sounds easy, but harmonizing with other from who are grown from different background are not an easy matter.

It requires much more than 'trying to unite.' IPYG, we play sports to unite and harmonize with people from different ideology. Victory Cup was held annual from regional matches to Final Match. Through team sports, we learn how to cooperate as one team. Sport helps us to bound together especially beyond the language barriers.
