Chang in Tanzania – Meeting the President (June 16, 2011)


On June 4th, 2011 Minister Byung Gook Jung of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism visited Tanzania to attend the social sponsored event for “Small Library” (organized by STEP, an organization under UN) and Tanzania Serengeti Project (organized by Korean Government).

Minister Byung Gook Jung, who have been planting a dream in the youth with IYF for years, also showed a lot of interests in juvenile issues in Africa during his visit to Tanzania this time.

Minister Byung Gook Jung arrived in Tanzania around 9pm on June 4th.

Korean GNC Volunteer and African IYF volunteer from IYF Tanzania center went together to greet the Minister.

The minister knew well, more than anyone, about the heart of the IYF volunteers who have left behind a comfortable life in Korea to come all the way to Africa to volunteer. He could’ve gotten exhausted from the long flight, but he rather asked the well-being of the volunteers first.


1. “Hello. Welcome to Tanzania. Karibu Tanzania.”


2. Conversation about Tanzania between Missionary Jong Duk Kim, the IYF Tanzania branch manager, Korean ambassador, and Minister Byung Gook Jung.

“Tanzania is a country of hope.”
