Global Family Camp 2012 (Part 6): We are Happy to be a part of it

Once again, we would like to thank the 교보생명교육문화재단 for having facilitated and coordinated such an event.

After having finished our Archery activity, what left for us was......finding back all of the arrows we shot earlier. It would not be a big problem if the arrows hit the target. We just pluck them out of the target board. But what about the missing ones? We got no choice but to search for them in the bushes behind the target board.

Now: searching time! The kids loved it. As for the adults, we got no choice but to go further beyond the perimeter to find any missing arrows. 

-----it was about 10.30 when we finished having our first activity.

Then, off we went to make organic soap. Eyra and her Korean family friends were busy looking at how the soaps were being made.

Then, we made these cute little family out of pins and nuts.^^

We were making a family dolls out of cloth-pin and nuts. We drew our family members' faces and glued them on the pins. See the picture?

Then, we made a book out of some paper and some fancy papers. We could decorate and write anything we liked. Each family got a pack of fancy cards, some posters, pictures, and other prearranged information on each country. 

We cut and pasted the pictures onto our books eventually so as to make them look like the ones shown above.

It took some coordination and cooperation to make this simple design. Yet, creativity was what we needed. Finally, though, a 30-minute task given to each family turned out to be a hard-driven spirit and challenge for us. After all, we would not have finished making it, had we not cooperated. Right?

The final remarks from the committee, National Youth Center, Kyobo Life, and 동부교육지원청. And of course, we thank them for inviting us to participate in the program.

We said goodbyes to our doumi or liaison officer during the events. Till we meet again...^^

Now, I want to write down the reason as to why we were chosen as the participants of this program: our daughter, Eyra, is now attending Cheongryang Elementary School. As one of the families whose children attend Korean Elementary School, we were given an opportunity by the school to participate in the program. After submitting our application form, we were happy to know that we were among 24 families selected to participate in the Global Family Camp 2012. 

That's pretty much the reason as to why we were chosen to be the participants.

We were so happy to be able to meet multicultural families and Korean families along the way. 

A worth-it trip. 

Once again...we would like to thanks the 동부뵤육지원청 and 교보생명교육문화재단 for having facilitated and coordinated such an event.
