WHO ARE WE?
The Combined Forces Command Headquarters is situated near Gate #3 (five-minute walk from Noksapyeong St.) in front of Navy Club. The Headquarter Commandant (Col Son, appointed as of Dec, 2008) and his subordinate officers work hard to solve various matters that arise within CFC. There are five divisions (Administration, Support, Medical, Information Operations, and Installations) within the headquarters, which they act as core components of CFC. About 10 officers, 15 civilian contractors, 10 non-commissioned officers and 120 soldiers are assigned to the Headquarter Commandant.
WHAT WE DO
With the tremendous aid from Non-Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA), enlisted members of Republic of Korea (ROK) forces within the CFC HQ are working hard to make our community a brighter and better place to live. Although it is a minor part of the Good Neighbor Program, ten or more young Korean soldiers who are fluent in English have been running English classes for higher elementary students in Young Nak Children's Home. The students and teachers are divided into 4 classes of Watermelon, Strawberry, Orange and Apple. This was done in consideration of each student’s English proficiency. Even though it is only once per week, it is a great opportunity for the students to experience and learn English.
Along with our regular English classes, there are some activities and annual events planned not only to enhance the student’s English but to get their interest in the language. One of these events is English Camp. It is the biggest event and also the most anticipated for the participating children. Every time one event comes to an end, the students shout for more. That is why we have the annual Putt-Putt Golf event or Young Nak Christmas Party, where all those who participate end up with happy smiles and everlasting memories.
UPCOMING EVENTS
For October 2009, NCOA, with the aid of CFC HQ, has yet planned another English Camp for the children at Young Nak children’s Home. This time, it is a totally new and totally different English Camp. The aim of this upcoming English Camp is not only for the students to learn English but actually experience a different culture. Many, if not all, children at Young Nak had no opportunity to travel abroad or experience other cultures. Therefore, we came up with the theme of HALLOWEEN. Halloween is not widely known culture within Korea. What is “trick or treat”? What is “Jack O’ lantern”? The answers are at this English Camp. The children will not only learn, but have fun.
WANT TO HELP?
Young Nak children as well as other organizations are constantly longing for what is to come after all the fun events and ceremonies organized by NCOA partnership. So those who are interested in heartily giving a hand or sponsoring these students, please feel free to contact MSG Thomas Weiss (723-2730) or CPL Baek, Yong Jun (725-7229) for any inquiries.
