Sat. Mar. 23nd, 2013

MANNAM Jeonju branch went to Sundeok orphanage volunteer this weekend.

A month goes so fast. lol

Since we visit there every month, the children there and volunteers are getting closer. When we had arrived there, the kids were waiting for us which was not expected. Because they used to like sleeping more than spending time with us. We were touched.

This time, we prepared some notebooks with no pictures on them, and different kinds of color pans. We let the children decorate the covers of the notebooks which subject was Peace or Dream.

 

Their drawing skills were fantastic!!

Among them, a girl was dreaming to be a painter. I cheered for her.

Some mischievous children drew our hands for fun. Haha! :p

Although It's just small kindness, they like our visiting and even miss us.

They said, "You should come next month! Don't miss it!"

Thank you all my little angels!

I can't wait to meet them next time.

Let's make wonderful time with KIDS :D

Dec. 1st. 2013, 40 members of MANNAM volunteer visited Imun, Jeongeup, Jeollabukdo, Korea. They gave 1000 briquettes to the neighbors in need.

It was more meaningful that the briquettes they delivered were purchased by some foreign volunteers for the people who could not go through this winter without any help.

One of the volunteer, K.Pratop, Indian, interviewed "I join this volunteer for help neighbors in need. I feel great and volunteering all together makes my heart warm."

Hong-gyu Yu, the village headman, said "The old couple who have lived in this village for 20 years are public charges. They are sick with illness and one of them is a blind. I had been much worried how could they go through this winter. And now, the volunteers deliver those briquettes for them. Thanks to the volunteers, they can stay warm in this cold winter."

MANNAM Jeonju branch has become more active in their volunteer works. Aug. 4th. 2012, they sold foods and made money in an event. And sent to the Seoul, Joenbuk childhood cancer centers.
