           The 2nd Character Education for Youths

[2012.02.23] “We Make School Without Violence, Without Outcasts”

On February 23, the 2nd Character Education for Youths was held in the Diamond Hall of the Hi Seoul Youth Hostel in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. 150 middle and high school students living in the southern part of Seoul participated in this special lecture before school starts.

“The person who is considerate of others can become a leader who can make our future bright.”    The Chairwoman Zahng Gil-jah and the instructors emphasized the importance of love and consideration for others

This day, Chairwoman Zahng Gil-jah visited the place and encouraged the students, saying, “The spirit of the youth decides the future of our society and country. I hope that you will love one another and take a leading role in making school without violence and outcasts, happy society as well.”

Around 11 a.m., Professor Lee Bae-geun, the President of Korea Central Adoption Resources (the former chairman of the Korea Youth Service Center), opened the first lecture. He asked the students to pluck up their courage to prevent school violence, and explained with various materials that the youth have to be prepared for the rapidly changing future society. In addition, he mentioned that the students need to have honesty, consideration for others, self-control and challenging spirit.

After lunch, Professor Gwon Hyeok-jin at Sejong University, who is also a member of the Korean Institute for Defense Analysis [KIDA] gave an etiquette lesson. Students learned etiquettes for greetings, handshake and conversation in our family and society through the presentation material and practiced them with their friends sitting next to them. By doing this, they felt the true meaning of the words, “Etiquette is to put ourselves in others’ position. Being considerate of others and a smiling face are essential for etiquette.” Professor Lee Hye-gyeong at the Sogang University talked about the stories of Galileo Galilei and Steve Jobs who affected history, and asked the students to be leaders who make history with their courage, generosity, firm will and challenging spirit.

  Students attentively listened to the lecture and actively participated

in the discussion and presentation

      Seoulites to step out to say ‘We Love U’

Global foundation shows ‘mother’s love’ for climate change refugees More than 12,000 people are expected to walk through Seoul on May 13 to raise awareness of climate change refugees. The annual walkathon organized by the International We Love U Foundation will start at Olympic Park in Songpa-dong at 10 a.m.
Ambassadors and organizations including Daejayon student environmental group is also set to participate in the walk that President Lee Myung-bak and other celebrities have joined in the past.

The Korea-based International We Love U Foundation operates with the lofty goal of sharing the mother’s love of founder Zahng Gil-jah with all mankind.
Founded in 1995, the organization now has 70,000 members with 43 branches in Korea and 30 international branches across seven continents.

Its current Clean World movement aims at environmental and humanitarian goals with WORLD standing for Water, Oxygen, Region, Life, and Descendants.
“The meaning of ‘Clean World’ is to think about how to make everyone feel happy. If everything is clean all people will think it is beautiful and feel happy,” explained general manager Lee Sung-an.

“First, our hearts should be clean and then the environment should be clean, sharing love with our neighbors should also be clean.”
Lee said that the international programs including providing water pumps to Asian and African nations, planting trees to clean the air, donating blood and providing medical care were changing people’s lives and mindsets.

“We have done activities all over the world, so many people have changed their thinking to become clean. In America, originally the people were a little individualistic but after this movement they can feel love with their families.
“In ASEAN, it was a little lazy, but after this movement … many governments and official offices are participating in this movement now.
“In Europe, before only the government took part in environmental movements, but after Clean World movement, citizens were taking part too.”
The organization also runs many projects in Korea including visiting senior citizens living alone and assisting multicultural families.

“The purpose of this foundation is to give mother’s love and make the world become one.
“The U.N. is helping (political) refugees but no one helped the climate refugees so they are in need of our support. It is possible that in future all nations can have climate refugees so this is a very important subject.”
The ambassadors of Gabon and Ghana have confirmed they will join the event, and organizers are expecting the attendance of some government ministers.

While Chairwoman Zahng Gil-jah and Sponsor Chairman Lee Sun-jae were warmly encouraging the families who had hard times and delivering hopeful messages along with medical and living expenses to them, the WeLoveU members gave a big applause with love. The donations are supposed to be used to support children in Nepal and Cambodia, too.
