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.
