Volunteering with MANNAM
Apart from our large-scale volunteering events, MANNAM regularly volunteers at some of the institutes and community centers around Seoul. Over time a close bond has formed between the public that make use of these facilities and our volunteers.
Certainly, volunteering and serving the community in this way will be a highlight of your MANNAM experience.
Here are some of our star volunteers' thoughts on volunteering.
Volunteering at Daechung Senior Center
Name: Haoyi Guo
Job: Student @ Korea University Nationality: China Date: March 3rd Location:Daecheong Senior Center "Daechung Elderly House work was really amazing. I learnt not only to do cleaning, but also sharing happiness with the elderly people, who are really kind and warm-hearted. the most impressive thing was a grandma lady hug and kiss me! Though we can not communicate by Korean language, a smile and a hug are universally understood. Thanks once again, MANNAM, for this meaningful event!" |

Volunteering at Kyoungdongwon Orphanage
Name: Matsushita Maiko
Job: Working holiday Nationality: Japan Date: March 17th Location: Kyoungdongwon Orphanage
今回、ひかりのメンバーと共に孤児院へボランティアをしに行って来ました。 子ども達に喜んでもらおうと“桃太郎“の人形劇を準備したのですが、韓国語での披露と言うこともあり、初めは凄く緊張していました。 しかし、そんな不安も何の其の、子ども達を始め先生方にも喜んで頂き、大成功で終える事が出来ました。その時の子ども達のキラキラした目は今でも忘れる事が出来ません。本当に個人的にも思い出深い経験となりました。 私にとってマンナムとは、子ども達の目のように輝く希望の光に出会える場だと思っています。これからもマンナムを通してより多くの光に出会えるよう、そして、その光を全ての人に分け与えられるよう頑張って行きたいと思います。 |
