MANNAM ‘PEACE IS POSSIBLE': interview of international volunteers

There are beautiful international volunteers in MANNAM Volunteer Association.
They volunteered at Kids Center and Senior Center. There's no boundary in love and volunteer. Let's figure out why foreign volunteers want to do volunteer.  

Q. Why did you come to Kids Center to do volunteering?

A. We've come to volunteer with these children. Because they don't have parents and we have a lot of free time. So, I miss my little nieces. So, this reminds me my little nieces.

Q. Isn't language barrier make you difficult to communicate with children?

A. Definitely language barrier has challenges but that's one thing that I really like about volunteering. Even those sometimes hard to communicate, you can still understand people's heart when you volunteering. So we work together to share love and heart and you can understand it without words

Q. Why did you come to Senior Center to do volunteering?

Obviously, at the first moment with kids is could be a little awkward. But, as soon as volunteers get started to open their heart, kids do.


As senior said in video, when foreigners volunteer in Korea, it becomes more inspiring to every people. Seniors feel very appreciate that their helps.

But, it's not easy to find the place foreigners can do volunteer. Since MANNAM Volunteer Association have volunteered with foreigners, the number of members is increasing.

MANNAM has a goal 'the World that Stands as One' by exchaning of culture with volunteering.
