Through the Happy Move Camps, not only would the volunteers be able to make a small but meaningful contribution to the local communities of Chennai and Delhi, but it would also offer young Korean/Indian college students an opportunity to understand Indian/Korean community and culture as well as recognize their responsibilities as a global citizen. The program not only intends to serve the communities of selected villages through Volunteering, but it also facilitates Youth Exchange and promotes Inter-cultural Learning between Korean Youth and the Local Community of Chennai and Delhi.
