Arjen and Wilma


Arjen & Wilma Gonlag-Kok

We feel blessed with knowledge and skills, and we would love to share these with people who have little to no access to them.

We work in Uganda, connected with Youth with a Mission (YWAM).

At the YWAM Hopeland base, Wilma is part of the member care team for the staff.

Our focus is children and families, communication and relationships.

Wilma is a Family & Parenting Coach, certified in Family System Trauma model (FST), Video Interaction Coaching and Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT).

We provide training to make @yourBEST and the Happy Life cards more widely available.

Our focus is multiplication: sharing information, training new facilitators and making methods practically available: in their own language, in print and through trained people.

Welcome in dust and special rain

  • November 22, 2025

After 10 weeks in the Netherlands where it was getting cooler, back to the tropical temperatures of Uganda. It was time to adjust. Dust everywhere in the house. I could write on the table. After cleaning the table, shelves, and floor, the suitcases could be brought in and unpacked. It was wonderful to be able to put the chocolate sprinkles in the cupboard.

@yourBEST
This is the African version of No Apologies in the Netherlands:https://www.noapologies.eu. It is a character shaping program for youth designed to train a morally resilient generation. The following six themes are covered: image, friendship, media, risk behavior, sexuality and resilience.

We are keen to train teachers, youth workers and others who have a heart for young people.

Happy Life
This includes the Couple Cards, Friendship Cards, On our Journey Cards and Early Years Cards. We train interested individuals to work with these card sets. More information about the cards can be found at: https://happylife.org.mt/
