Implementing the Culture of Peace: Universal Human Values and Community Service
IRFF has officially been registered in Hungary this year and is now undertaking its official work yet the foundation of the IRFF began in Hungary a decade ago with international cooperative efforts with the Religious Youth Service (RYS) and the Forum Ost. Some of the past projects which IRFF was involved in include the building of a Peace Garden at the Orphans Village in Fut, constructing a shelter in Pec for battered women and building a shelter for homeless men. In Tatabanya , five schools had volunteers work on both construction and restoration projects.
The IRFF Hungary chapter was officially introduced and registered on October 14-15 in Budapest and on November 10th in the city of Pics. Pecs is currently serving as the national headquarters of IRFF. On December 3rd as part of the IIFWP sponsored conference on the theme: "Implementing the Culture of Peace: Universal Human Values and Community Service" in Debrecen and Budapest the IRFF made presentations concerning its international work and its recent environmental project..
