[MANNAM Volunteer Association] True Meaning of the Name 'MANNAM'


MANNAM International Volunteer Association


Through meeting together, I experienced what my friends whose skin color, nationality, political view, religion, and culture are different experienced, I faced the reality of the friends, I learned their language, culture, religion, and all valuable heritage and the soul of their history/nationality. Of course, I learned the negative sides of each culture, however, I could self-analyze myself and my culture, Korea.

The reason that MANNAM International members can volunteer not accepting payment for services is that this learning is worthwhile and we do not only make ourselves grow but also do have hope for much happier and more peaceful world where our friends can co-exist. 

Why don't we meet, talk together? We could reach for peace when we share our culture, opinions, knowledge, sources through our MANNAM(meeting)!
