with Good News Corps Overseas Volunteers

Realizing a more bright and healthy society

Directing mutual cooperation through international exchange as a way to build capacity among the youth. Conduct youth education founded on a Christian outlook with the spirit of challenge, change and cohesion all achieved through IYF annual World Camp

Background& Introduction:

The youth play a very big role in the development of our country Uganda however the subject is not well informed about their role towards development and have developed a self-seeking attitude which we realize is not favorable to development. They are also not participating in various activities affecting society. This we realize is debited to lack of the correct mindset which we believe is the first step to development (one’s love for the country).

Due to Uganda’s overall development goal, “to eradicate poverty and to enable her people enjoy a high standard of living”, there is need to foster capacity building among the youth. IYF was therefore established to develop and nurture the youth into a people that play a role towards national development with special emphasis on a clear relationship with God. The project is aimed at facilitating the various youth (IYF Members) through sharing and management of knowledge (training). Furthermore the project will strengthen the links between the youth of different countries worldwide.

The project builds upon the endeavors of the Uganda Youth Forum (UYF), National Youth Council (NYC) and is a direct achievement of the Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development (MoGLSD).

IYF Youth Development Projects

The Mind Healing Camp (World Camp)

The IYF World Camp is the actual place of fellowship and union among the university students all over the world. There are many schools that teach knowledge or skills, but there is no school anywhere in the world that teaches the world of the heart. The very school where the world of the heart can be expressed, through challenge, change, and cohesion, and learned is the IYF World Camp.

The World Camp runs once a year in Uganda for four days and through this world camp students from many parts of the world gather together and are able to share and open their hearts to each other and are able to break free from the boundaries of their hearts. Meetings and relationships

from all over the world ripen as the students experience various programs such as world youth symposium, diverse cultural presentations, lectures, and self-control training. Whether they are

CHALLENGE - CHANGE - COHESION

American or African, problems of the youth basically have the same characteristics though their images the realm of the heart and self-control.

As the participants realize this beautiful realm through heart-to-heart fellowship, they experience a closeness of the heart beyond boundaries. We feel IYF is moving within some invisible providence. The World Camp leads students who were once trapped by the narrow framework of their minds to be freed into becoming born again workers who can sacrifice their lives for the truth. Through the World Camp, the youths turn from the lives invested in selfish desires and momentary joy and become people of great purpose and purity.

The IYF World Camps have been made successful through the generous sponsorships and support donations from various companies and establishments in the host countries

IYF Academy project;

The IYF education project which runs for three terms annually is made possible through the monthly support and donations from various companies who share the same concern for the youth of Uganda. It’s a grass root education program targeted at benefiting the people who have not had adequate chance for formal education. Courses such as computer and piano lessons, languages such as Korean, French, Chinese, Spanish, English, and Swahili, are the courses offered alongside Tae kwon Do and Dance training courses freely. These projects are being carried out at the IYF center, Makerere University, Lubiri secondary school and Kampala secondary school through our unpaid volunteers who comes from different

countries.

IYF social volunteer project;

This is divided into two part project that is within Kampala region and upcountry. The activities under this project includes clean campaigns in hospitals and slum places, short training projects on request in our partner organizations and different youth organizations, participating in different youth events organized by our partners and the government;

Upcountry project; it’s an extension of our education project to different districts which contains our branches, on the other hand programs such as youth festivals, and children camps are organized by IYF in the district. IYF Volunteers are trained and are sent to those districts to carry out this programs.The IYF seeks to receive monthly supports and donations in material and cash form so as to successfully run the education and social volunteer projects.
