<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThen you can start straightaway!\u201d\u00a0In the following two weeks, I managed indeed to take part in almost all the activities being done. And\u00a0although painting was definitely my favorite, I can say that I enjoyed them all. On said Monday, I\u00a0arrived in a school with grey dirty buildings, a messy schoolyard full of stones and holes and a broken iavatory. The transformation my Korean fellow volunteers and I could witness every day seemed\u00a0miraculous. In our breaks, we would walk around the buildings to see what had been changed in the\u00a0last hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u00b4t believe this is the same school\u201d, was a sentence to be heard frequently.\u00a0\u201cMe neither!\u201d\u00a0On Thursday, 27th January, we left a colorful school with working water taps and a big space to play\u00a0for the students. However, the achievements of Happy Move Camp cannot be reduced to the\u00a0physical changes. The last two weeks were weeks of friendship, of learning and new experiences. I\u00a0heard about the different types of Korean food, everyday life at Korea\u00b4s universities, traditional\u00a0Korean mindsets, and the festival of light in Seoul city. I got in touch with lots of new friends whom I\u00a0would not have met otherwise and got an insight into a culture that was until then not particularly\u00a0present in my mind.\u00a0And, finally, there were the students of Sengadu who kept diverting us during the breaks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is your name?\u201d\u00a0No matter if the name they were told was Corinna or Lee Hye Jin, they did their best to pronounce it\u00a0correctly. Thanks to them, our breaks were full of games and joy. The last time I did so much rope\u00a0skipping or clapping games was when I was in primary school myself.<\/p>\n
As we left, there was nobody among us who was not feeling sad. I thank everybody who participated\u00a0in the Camp for two awesome weeks and I am happy to have got that opportunity!<\/p>\n

\u201cHi! We have to repair the water tap, flatten the schoolyard, paint the walls and give some classes to\u00a0the students!\u201d These are the first words I heard from our Korean team leader as I arrived in Sengadu\u00a0Primary school in the morning of 19th January. The next question was: \u201cHave you ever done manual work before?\u201d\u00a0My honest answer: \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"Closed","ping_status":"Closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ltv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10185"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10185\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
