[Overseas News] Stories from WECA’s 2015 Group Home Seminar!

Overseas 2022. 03. 12 17:58

 

About 200 children, nannies, and collaborators living in and around Yangon, Myanmar, gathered in one place and ignited their passion for 3 days and 2 nights.

 

 

The seminar started with an orientation, followed by hygiene education, team building program, mini Olympics, peace education, and talent show.

 

 

We gave the happiest and most rewarding time in the world to children in Myanmar who are struggling day by day.

 

 

Myanmar children dream bigger about their future through new experiences. We introduce you to the story behind the scene.

 

 

▷ First meeting. The children began to gather one by one with excitement at the place where the group home seminar was held.

 

 


▷ Hygiene education: Children who do not brush their teeth well. In this place where no one teaches about brushing teeth, teeth brushing education was the most important time. Brushing children's teeth the right way protects their precious health.

 

 



▷ Team building program: Children from impoverished areas are less likely to show consideration for and help others in group situations. We spent time teaching these children the concept of “us” and developing cooperation through play.

 

 

▷ Delicious dinner! Children who usually eat just one meal a day are always hungry. During this seminar period, three meals a day were provided and delicious meals were prepared to ensure that no children went hungry.

 

 

▷ A place without physical education, music, or art! Because it is difficult for most children in poor areas to even attend school, they have never received arts or physical education classes at school. Mini Olympics time where you can run around with your friends and experience a sense of accomplishment. Children naturally learn competitiveness and cooperation.

 

 

▷ A journey to find myself! The children were asked to write a letter to themselves 10 years from now. There is no concept of tomorrow for children who struggle each day. That's why it's very difficult to write a letter to yourself 10 years from now. But...by thinking about their dreams and writing them down, children strengthen their will to make their dreams a reality.

 

 

▷ Talent show. There were also friends I met for the first time. Random team members prepared for a talent show and had time to show off. Although it looks sloppy in some ways, the children's eyes were full of enthusiasm more than ever.

 

 

▷ The time spent running for 3 days and 2 nights! It will remain a uniquely happy time for children. And it would have been a time to have dreams for the future and strengthen the will to achieve them.

 

If you have a dream and a goal, I believe that you will be able to achieve your dream, the only question is whether it is today or tomorrow.

 

 

Even though every day is difficult, if only they could study without putting down the pen in their hands, many of these children would no longer have to live poor and sad lives.
