MANNAM) 10Km in their shoes; Pledge of Peace

Good day!
I would like to invite you to our first national event of 2013, which is going to be hosted by MANNAM International Youth Coalition.

Currently with 82 affiliates around the globe MIYC youth are determined to bring peace, a lasting peace, the kind we have only dared to imagine until now.


10Km in their shoes, as in previous years, will be an awareness campaign. This year youth organisations across the globe will be participating at different locations, all aiming to sound a clear message of their strong stance against wars. All participants will be walking to show their support for specific countries who are still struggling with ongoing wars, or the after effects of recent conflict. Through the 10km walk and the MIYC peace pledge the youth within Korea and abroad will show all nations how we wish to actively pursue peace.

MANNAM 10Km Event in 2012

Hello, there!!

How are you doing these days??

Spring is getting closer. Do you feel it?

Today, I saw some forsythias were blooming. What a nice scene!! That's the reason why I love spring so much.

Also, I could see lots of families go on a picnic these days.

It reminded me of the 10K event that was held last spring. It was the first event for me to join MANNAM.

The participants walked the riverside 10 kilometers long, thinking about the people in disaster victims.

The aim of this event was to encourage Korea to wake up and reach out, across borders and cultural constraints, to aid our brothers and sisters in need.

 

I thought it was very meaningful. Most of people don't care about others' sorrow but MANNAM cared about it. During walking, I tried to imagine I was one of the victims' family.

'How could I go through with that situation?', I thought.

Even if I could never understand their feeling fully, I could assume that how awful and sad it could be.

Furthermore, I felt it was important to take care of  neighbors because it was a way to communicate one another. When we communicate with others, we would understand them and this would lead the world peaceful.

Nice weather and nice people. This is all I want to get.

I'm looking forward to join this year as well.

A MANNAM National Event
