Welcome to Hope Rising World
Where Your Voice Rises. Where Hope Takes Flight.
Welcome, young creators, visionaries, and allies from every corner of the globe.
Across continents, we see a world under strain—nations divided, climates shifting, children going to bed hungry, and communities losing trust. It is easy to feel overwhelmed. Yet, at Hope Rising World, we know there is a force stronger than fear, deeper than despair, and brighter than the darkest night: Hope.
Hope is not a whisper of a dream; it is a living force that has carried humanity through its hardest hours. It is the courage that fought for freedom, the vision that reached the stars, and the unity that tears down walls.
Our Mission: The Ten Essential Hopes
We have dedicated our work to ten urgent pillars of action. These are not just ideals; they are the blueprint for a better future:
Peace • Climate Restoration • Ending Hunger • Education for All • Healthcare Access • Justice • Ethical Technology • Community Renewal • Responsible Leadership • Love with Reconciliation
Our Projects: Cultivating the Best of Humanity
Hope Rising World is more than a platform; it is a production house for the human spirit. Led by our founder, Oshell Oh—a film director, composer, and tenor—we use the power of art and innovation to build a better world.
1. The Global Creative Challenge: "Can We Solve the End of the World with AI?" We invite students and thinkers to investigate the intersection of technology and survival.
The Ask: Do not fear technology. Treat AI not as a substitute for your soul, but as an ally that helps you investigate, imagine, and build.
The Goal: We seek essays and poems that breathe—living words for a living Earth—carrying care, clarity, and resolve.
2. Humanitarian Action: "Happy with Children!" We stand with the most vulnerable—homeless children, adoptees, and struggling families. Through the "Happy with Children!" initiative, we create tangible opportunities for education, shelter, and dignity, ensuring every child finds a sense of belonging.
3. Media for Truth & Unity We believe art is the fastest way to the heart. Our production projects include:
Documentary Films: Works such as The Life of Ahn Jung-geun, Nanjing Massacre, and Fantasia Arirang that reveal historical truths and heal cultural wounds.
Music for Peace: From the operetta The Gift to the Peace of the Orient symphony, we use music to bridge borders and raise funds for those in need.
Join Us
Whether you are a writer, an artist, or a peacemaker, your voice is needed. This year, write with both mind and heart. Help us turn the "Ten Essential Hopes" into reality.
May your voice rise. May hope take flight. And may your work help the Earth keep living.
With respect and anticipation,
Oshell Oh CEO & Founder, Hope Rising World
