IYF Kenya Branch Manager Wook Yong Kim hoped that this MOU agreement would lead to cooperation with other government departments as well.
Based on the fiduciary and cooperative relation between the Kenyan Government and the IYF formed through the 2016 Kenya IYF World Camp, we hope an even brighter and happier future for the youth of Kenya unfolds. (Wook Yong Kim / IYF Kenya Branch Manager)
A Meeting with the Director of the Kenyan Education Development Association, ‘Please Be Together for the Establishment of the Kenya Education Reform Plan’
In the afternoon, by special order of the President, the Director of the Kenyan education development association who is drawing up the future blueprint of Kenya’s education visited Pastor Ock Soo Park despite his busy schedule to harmonise the IYF Mind Education with the establishment of the Kenyan education reform plan.
The staffs of the Kenyan education development association was focused on the Mind Education being carried out by the IYF for the education of Kenya and requested that the IYF take part in drawing up the education curriculum that will take place from next week. Pastor Ock Soo Park introduced the Mind Education saying that education until now was only taught at the stage of ‘don’t play games’, ‘don’t take drugs’, and ‘don’t do bad things,’ but the IYF’s Mind Education is being carried out worldwide by changing the minds of the youth who are wandering and unable to control their minds.
He added, moreover, that the IYF Mind Education is receiving attention worldwide with many educational officials such as the university presidents of India who are currently working together with us, efforts to establish the mind education department in each university are in progress, an invitation from the President of Uganda for a meeting on the 26th to discuss such matters, and a scheduled meeting on the 28th by invitation of the President of Malawi.
He also expressed that he was looking forward to the IYF taking part in the establishment of the Kenyan education reform plan, and both sides promised to carry out detailed executive discussions from next week.
