A Present from Sri Lanka : MANNAM Volunteers Work Together, Stand Hand in Hand

In MANNAM Busan North branch office, there are some present from other countries or other branches. Many international friends in our community, when their visa ends, they have to turn back their country, but often people who love Korea, they come back to Korea. Also, students and workers visit their country using their holidays and vacations. 

One Indian friend presented a pretty waterball (snowball) that has a castle and ocean. And when we lent our emblem flags to other branch, they sent back them with post cards with warm-hearted message (it was MANNAM post cards!)

Recently, in our office, three small 'Hand-in-Hand' decoration items were arranged and it makes us think our Sri-Lankan member's love and his affection for us. He was in his country, Sri-Lanka, in summer vacation time, and he introduced MANNAM Volunteer Association in his local community and his friends. Also, when he came back, he gave his Korean class teacher these presents for us, MANNAM volunteers. 

He said he bought these because their 'Hand-in-Hand' which is a pair of shaking hands, let him come up with MANNAM's logo. He was really proud of buying these presents. 

This 'Hand-in-Hand' actually I named after the official song of Seoul Olympic in 1988. This Hand-in-Hand song and the motto of Olympic wishes the end of war and the harmony and peace of world. I put the links here. :) 

Now, he is still participating in our activities passionately and really making harmony in our community with his humor and warm heart! I believe we are becoming more and more 'a real volunteer.'
