[ IYF Uganda Mind Education / Good News
Corp overseas Volunteers activity updates on 20th March 2017]
Now I’m going to post news about the Mind
Education and Recreation activities that took place in IUEA today. In this
university, we have been advertising for one week before the workshop. And over
200 students were eager to know much about Mind Education and were willing to
join us as they were coming one by one. I was so excited within that one week
of advertisement. Finally, today, the Mind Education Workshop took place. I was
looking forward to how many students will attend, whether I can meet them
again.
Hello. My name is Sim Hyo Hee. I
came as a GNC 16th class
Uganda. In Uganda it is always shinny.
The sunshine is very hot but it is cool in the shade. These days because of
rainy season, I have to wash my clothes in time. At first, I couldn’t tell so I
used to get angry when my clothes got wet. But now, from the movement of
clouds, I can tell when it’s going to rain. Day by day, I’m learning a new
mind set in Uganda. I’m very thankful to be here.

Before
beginning workshop, music video of GRACIAS choir made students’ ears opened and
also their mind too.
After his lecture, the students filled the questionnaire about how the lecture was, what kind of activities they want to join. Total 120 students answered positively. Though we didn’t do anything and lack many things, students opened their heart toward us and treated us like old friends. They already felt like family to me.
Mind Recreation
There
has been righteous dance performance right after Gracias choir. Also hyeonJoo
and me are members of dance team. During
practicing dance with the local volunteers,
I had difficulty preparing dance together. Sometimes we fought one another. But
whenever we had those kinds of troubles, our country director and his wife
always helped us remove misunderstanding by communicating one another. Still
now, I can’t forget the feeling when I heard clapping of students after
successful performance. I felt like our mind had become
one.

| Professor Emeka(The head of department science technology) |
Professor Emeka(The head of department science
technology) represented the vice chancellor and delivered welcome
remarks. The professor had opened his heart to us the first time our volunteers
advertised about IYF programs. I was so thankful that he is interested on IYF
who thinks much of people mind and changing life.His open heart also sparkled
our heart to the professorand IUEA and therefore we could witness how our
hearts could connect.
In
mind lecture time, country director gave lecture about desire and self-control.
Desire in our heart is good and necessary. But if we have no power controlling
the desire, it’s like broken car without a brake. He said “It is necessary to
control our desires not meet them”.
“My 2 sons are 4, 6 years old. They always want me to buy
candy, snack for them. But when they come of age, will they still hope me to
come with candy? Their desires also become bigger as much as they grow up.
Becoming adult, they’ll have bigger desires than before. But there must be
limit of parent’s capability~. . When the desire goes beyond the limit, they
will feel unhappy, complain about it. Great parents don’t do everything which
children want for them. Though I have 10, giving them 6 is wisdom which make
them have self-control. Try to control yourself !, then you will get used to it
and can have powerful, bright mind set no matter what difficulty you have. ”
Through the example of a jelly heart
and the brick heart ,he taught us that the person who has weak mind can
easily fail but the person who has strong mind has no problem with overcoming
challenge.
After his lecture, the students filled the questionnaire about how the lecture was, what kind of activities they want to join. Total 120 students answered positively. Though we didn’t do anything and lack many things, students opened their heart toward us and treated us like old friends. They already felt like family to me.
After
that, It was time for mind recreation. But because it was a day of exam, I was
worried that students will not participate in the mind recreation. Even so
students started to gather one by one to join the game, those from the lecture
and others who was passing by. They made a total of 20.
After workshop, we
had lunch late. We were so hungry that we finished within a second.
