As part of the larger Korean Dream 10 Million Campaign, Global Peace Women (GPW) launched the Korean Dream Family Challenge on 8th September, aligning with this year’s celebration of the International Day of Peace. This initiative aims to bring families, volunteers, and communities together in a shared effort to promote unity, peace, and hope, both within families and across borders. It mirrors the vision of a unified Korea, which is at the heart of the Korean Dream campaign.
The Korean Dream 10 Million Campaign is an ongoing, four-year initiative, aiming to raise 10 million Korean Dreamers by 2025. This grassroots movement, spearheaded by Koreans and supported globally, advocates for peace, unification, and freedom on the Korean Peninsula. The campaign envisions a Korea free from division, exemplifying peace that will resonate across the world. Families and communities are a cornerstone of this vision, and this challenge offers them a way to take meaningful action.
The Korean Dream Family Challenge saw families of Sunshine family Volunteers (SFV) who believe that peace begins in the home actively participate, across eight countries, reflecting the campaign’s global reach. The participants hailed from: Bangladesh, Cameroon, Japan, Nepal, Nigeria, Philippines, South Korea and USA. Through creativity and teamwork, families explored ways to embody and promote the principles of peace that underlie the Korean Dream—peace, not only for Korea but for the entire world.
The Challenge culminated in an award ceremony scheduled for 28th September at 1 PM UTC, where three top winners were recognized for their outstanding contributions:
1. First Place: Anang Christy Ijang, from Cameroon
2. Second Place: Dalyop Daniel David, from Nigeria
3. Third Place (Joint Winners): Sotonye Christy Jackreece Smith from Nigeria and Shanti Tamang from Nepal
