MAKERERE UNIVERSITY MIND EDUCATION TRAINING HELD ON 1ST MARCH 2017
Hello. I’m
Sim HyoHee Good News Corp Oversea Volunteer 16th class Uganda. First
volunteers workshop for MEUT took place in Makerere university. I want to share
the news.
 |
| Makerere University, The Best University in Uganda, 4th in Africa |
I was excited because this was the first time to have an IYF activity in Uganda since I came. I was also excited to go to Makerere the best university in East Africa
“MEUT” is the big IYF mind education
project that takes place in 30 universities every month.
For a month, my senior volunteers had
advertised MEUT to gather 100 volunteers. I was wondering how many people will
come.
We will have
a good time learning about mind education camp which will take place in each university,
having mind recreation, listening to mind lecture. For this workshop the
university gave us the main hall for free.
Before the workshop was the refreshing performance by
righteous dance team. It was funny to perform before university students who
are the same age as me.
After dance was orientation about IYF. “IYF is organization working for the youth, it does a lot of programme all over the world and sends volunteers to different countries around the world each year. So it is global organization. IYF aims at leading Ugandan youth in the right direction together with government.”
After that,
MUKIYFA the IYF club in Makerere was introduced by the president. the members
of MUKIYFA were not many but they had a huge dream. And the mind to rely on
each other left no lacking to do big programmes in the university. So she urged
students to register for MUKIFA. No wonder MUKIFA will become the biggest and
most active club in the university.
After that,
the country director Kim Hyeong Jin gave lecture about significance and
necessity of mind education. He went on lecturing about the influence of
positive and negative mindset in one’s life and why mind education is needed. It
was friendly lecture involving the students.
Those who attended were
interested in the story of bedbug mentality by Jeong JuYeong.
“Chairman Jeong JuYeong learned the mind
to never give up through the bedbug. What he learned from the bedbug enable him
to overcome challenges, failure and difficulty. No matter what environment you
are in, the mind you have is important. Right mind and strong mind will lead us
in right direction. Happiness depends on what kind of mind you have not on your
condition. ”
To all the new volunteer, it would be the first time to listen to this kind of lecture which touches the heart.That’s why they were very attentive and were taking notes on what the director was saying
Mind Recreation
After lecture was mind recreation with GNC volunteers. They introduced mindset in each game and the students freely participated in the game. A lot of students came up to the stage to play game.
Thanks to
them, we could easily proceed the games. I felt thankful to the students who
tried to do their best. Although the game was only 40 minutes, seeing the
student joyful made me happy. We could communicate our heart and get closer.
After the
workshop, the students moved out and had chat with IYF volunteers. Then they
fill the volunteer application forms. 102 students registered as volunteers. I
didn’t expect a lot of people to apply so I was really surprised.
The students opened their hearts toward us so we were
so thankful.
This moment was the first step to start MEUT programme in Makerere. I don’t know what to expect. But as the saying goes, the beginning might be small but the end will be big.if we together share our hearts and gather strength then we will happily be able to finish.

It’s been 3 weeks since I’ve stayed in Uganda. I’m
thankful to have volunteer work. Also I’m proud of being with IYF.
During my stay in Uganda, I’ve had many chances to
reflect my heart. Now I feel the most important thing is to share our heart.
I still have 10 months left, I want these 10 months to
be very slow. Though I’m always sleepy, undiligent and negative, I’m very
thankful for our members, local people, the country director and his wife to
support me.
I hope you
guys have a happy day sharing hearts with one another. Thank you
