2020 Access Opening Ceremony

Hello:)

Seoul YWCA is hosting English Access Microscholarship Program(Access) sponsored by U.S. State Department.

Access is an educational program which makes North Korean Students in South Korea improve their English ability in line with raising their global leadership.

As usual, Access is running in The Great Vision School in this year.

Originally it should have started in April, but the impact of COVID-19 has prevented us from having 2020 Access Opening Ceremony until May, 2020.

Thus, we managed to have it yesterday, on June 1st.

At the opening ceremony, there were 40 guests including Seoul YWCA staffs, students in the Great Vision School and teachers.

Students cheerfully participated in the introduction session of Seoul YWCA and Access program itself.

First, they watched a video where the president in Seoul YWCA, Ms.Lee Yoo Lim, encouraged their start. Then, they listened to a diplomat in the American embassy, Mr.Aaron Tarver, who said “Hello” in Korean clearly, cheering them up.

The vice-principal in the school, Ms.Kim Young Mi, advised them to form diligent habit for them to join in the program actively because this program takes place every Mondays and Fridays morning.

Finally, the ceremony finished by giving students certificate of microscholarship and small gift.

COVID-19 has brought about lots of changes in our lives.

The opening ceremony went online in part, and all participants had their lunch by keeping each other at a safe distance.

Students in the Great Vision School are going to learn English as well as adapt and react to new environment through Access.

Please keep your eyes on them who will dream bigger and bigger with Access!

But, my colleagues looked so happy and relaxed even though we were not prepared and had to teach the class tomorrow. That made me worried so much. However, when the first class had started, my thought changed completely. Still, there were a lot of insufficiencies in our classes. Although Kits for the class were not enough and student’s academic achievement was different from what we had expected, student liked us as ourselves regardless of the poor teaching. Though we made a mistake, they accepted and loved it as part of ourselves. Only then, I realized that I am the one who can’t really adjust in Tanzania, not our team members. There were a lot of problems while we had worked in Tanzania. There were conflicts among colleagues and sometimes miscommunication with local people caused some misunderstanding and conflicts. However, we tried to u...
