We conducted a 1-day workshop for our second-generation youth on May 28, 2024, with the participation of 30 youth. The objective of this workshop was to gather 12-20 age group Blessed Children together and let them realize their value as Blessed Children and pure water. They were also guided on becoming closer to God, HP, and bond with other fellow brothers and sisters.
One Day Blessed Children Workshop was held by the FFWPU Nepal Second Generation Department. The theme was set as ‘Becoming Pure Water for Heavenly Parent’s Dream’. The theme was inspired through True Mother’s words where she guided the Blessed Children to become pure water that filters out the impure water. The gathering began at 7 AM and the program officially started at 9 AM after breakfast.
A total number of 30 participants including 18 Blessed Children and 12 Parents joined the 1-day workshop. Miss Serena Dangi, the senior Blessed Children led the workshop as Emcee of the day. They attended two lectures, the first one was given by Rev. Santosh Kumar Paudel, Sub-Regional Director FFWPU-South Asia on the topic ‘Becoming Pure Water for Heavenly Parent’s Dream’ and the second one was given by Rev. Prakash Babu Thapa, FFWPU Nepal National Leader on ‘In search of true self for Heavenly Parent’s Dream’.
The Blessed Children learned the proper way to become a filial child and work towards our Heavenly Parent’s dream of restoring the world. The Blessed Children united with each team members and leaders and discussed thoroughly about what they understood through the lectures. Mr. Shivaji Khadka, the senior Blessed Family, gave internal guidance to the second generations about the significance of being a Heavenly Parent’s children. He also guided them regarding their purity and their responsibility towards Heavenly Parent’s and the external world.
As a refreshment and bonding period, the second generation watched an animated Japanese movie called ‘Suzume’. With delicious foods and fun time, the second generations seem to have enjoyed every moment with their fellow brothers and sisters. Lastly, group discussion and reflection writing was held that let the second generations to open up more and let their heart out. A little gift was given to all the participants by Mr. Shivaji Khadka out of love for the second generation.
The volunteering works were carried out by the senior Blessed Children, parents of the Blessed Children, and HQ staff who helped in cooking, managing, and conducting the whole program successfully. The workshop played a huge role in uniting all Blessed Children and Blessed Parents and made them more closely centered on Beloved True Mother.
Reflections
Miss Prerana Tapa:
Today May 28, 2024, we had a one-day 2nd generation workshop at Peace Embassy Naxal, Kathmandu. The workshop’s theme was “Becoming pure water for Heavenly Parent’s Dream”. We had two lectures first was about loveless society, Parenting, and how we should give and forget given by Rev. Santosh Kumar Paudel, Sub-Regional Director of FFWPU South Asia. I learned that we are like pure water born from Blessed Parents. We are the only pure water in the world. We must know the purpose of life, set life goals and act to fulfill it then only we will be able to get success in our life.
The second lecture was given by Rev. Prakash Babu Thapa, FFWPU National leader about our True Value. He reminded us that we must be the person which God has made us to be. He taught that our true value comes from our relationship with God’s partner of love. To find true value, we need to understand God’s will. We need to feel God’s heart and need to live according to God’s plan. This point touches me a lot. After the lecture session Mr. Shivaji Khadka, the senior Blessed family gave internal guidance which was full of inspiration to us. After that, we watched a Japanese movie, played games, ate delicious food, and had a fun time. I learned many things in this one-day workshop. I want to thank Heavenly Parent and True Parents and all leaders who gave us this precious opportunity to participate in the workshop.
Miss Shin-Hye Khadka:
Firstly, I am grateful to Heavenly Parent and True Parents for being a Blessed Child. Today in the workshop I learned that we Blessed Children also have a special responsibility towards Heavenly Parent and True Parents. As True Mother said, we are pure water, and she has a big hope for us. I determined today that I will do my best and encourage all second generation of Nepal to give hope to True Mother. Today I learned that youth is the period of developing our character, keeping purity, studying, and learning many things to qualify ourselves. Our every daily activity and life goal should be centered on Heavenly Parent and True Parents. I am very thankful to all Blessed Parents who worked hard to grow us and teach us principles so that we will not lose our identity and our life’s track.
Miss Shinbi Dangi:
First of all, I want to give thanks to Heavenly Parent and True Parents for giving me this precious opportunity. Today I felt very glad to see many second generation brothers and sisters. In this workshop, I learned that we should develop the habit of reporting and sharing our opinions, feelings, and doubts to our parents. We need to develop the heart of Hyo Jeong towards our Parents. We Blessed Children also have our responsibility; we need to train and grow as True Parents showed us the way. As we Blessed Children are the fruit and the hope of Heavenly Parent and True Parents, we need to understand who Heavenly Parent is and the essence of True Parents on earth. Today’s workshop inspired me that we are the only Pure Water in the world, and we need to purify the impure water of the world. I understand and realize how much True Mother emphasizes Blessed Children and Youth and her expectations towards us. I will do my best in the coming days. Thank you very much!
