Someone Call OSHA Quick!!
MWR was putting up a new sign to announce upcoming events, and this is how you get your manpower to the top of the sign in Korea. Attention small business owners: Do Not Attempt This At Home!Today, I headed to the far eastern reaches of Seoul to meet with the director of a Christian ministry for North Korean refugees. At this campus the students are 18 - 21 years of age, and are preparing to enter University. It was a very informative trip, and I will have the opportunity to go back in a week or so. The director and I even have a special project in the works and once it is given the green light by all the staff I will share it with you.
It has really been amazing how these opportunities just pop up, and when a door opens I go running right through it. With only four months left, I do not have time to be slow about meeting, sharing and helping. Of course, circumstances may cause a door to close in one area, but then out of the blue, something new - like this school - just seems to find me. I thought I would come to Korea and do lots of volunteering like I had done in the past. Instead, I am discovering these ministries and passing all the information along - creating a little network between Korean organizations and military folks. My time here is short, so like a spider (just call me Charlotte!) I am weaving a web that will hopefully hang around after I am gone.
