At the end of all programs,
we had a farewell party for
friends who was going to
leave Busan. Good bye and
Take care, friends! We are
proud of the moment we were
together as MANNAM family.
Though families were far
away from here, Korea, we
hope it was great time with
another family with MANNAM !
On the 10th, February, there
was an event, ‘설날 (Seol-Nal)
with MANNAM.’ About 60 peo-
ple came and enjoyed the
holidays with MANNAM family.
‘설날 with MANNAM’ was not
the first time. The event was
on 21st, January in 2012 at
the beginning of Busan branch.
Last year, we focused on only
Korean culture, but this year,
we tried to introduce other
countries and enjoy all to-
gether! So, preparing the pro-
gram and dishes, the new
menu, 월남쌈 (Vietnamese
Wrap) was added to introduce
another food culture as well as
consider there were many
vegetarian friends.
Ahead of the event, we re-
ceived many words for names
in Korean language through
MANNAM Korean classes and
Korean staffs. Then friends
chose one name card on
which the name and its mean-
ing was written at the door.
Each group had a joyful dinner
time with Vietanmese Wrap
and Tteok-Guk (a soup with
sliced rice cake.)
After the dinner, we did
charades (guess the answer
seeing the gestures/body lan-
guages), dividing into groups.
Then, we learned how to do
세배 (Sae-Bae, New Year’s
bow.) You can see detailed
steps how to bow properly on
the New Year’s day on Aislin’s
Seol-Nal with MANNAM
Let’s Enjoy a Bowl of Tteokguk! Tteokguk is a Korean
traditional food eaten during
Lunar New Year’s day. It is
made with 가래떡 (Ga-rae-
tteok.) Koreans think that
people grow one year older by
eating Tteokguk.
Garaetteok is a long and
white rice cake, which means
longevity. Also, the color of
white is a symbol of a new
beginning as well as purity
and brightness. The shape of
sliced Garaetteok looks like
coins. So Koreans welcome a
new year and hope longevity
and wealth having a bowl of
Tteokguk.
If you want to make
Tteokguk, first choose
ingredient which make the
soup and boil the soup. There
are variety ingredient that
Koreans usually put such as
beef, Myulchi (anchovy), dried
mussel, oyster, etc., so even if
you can’t meat, you can enjoy
the dish. If you finish the soup,
then put sliced rice cake in the
pot. You can put some other
things. After sliced rice cake
soften enough to eat, then
turn off the gas. Then, plus
toping slices of dried laver or
fried egg! It’s time to enjoy a
bowl of Tteokguk!

The 2nd <더 PEACE> talk concert: Equality and Discrimination
concert was Rodrigo Braune, a
Brazilian friend in MANNAM
International Busan North
branch gave us speech with
the theme 'Equality and
Discrimination.'
In part 2, people was divided
into a few of groups, then we
shared our experience of
discrimination and made the
pledge to end discrimination.
There were variety people and
variety stories. Discussion was
going on in the group, then
one of the members
announced their experiences
and pledge. Among them,
many friends, who are not
Koreans, experienced
discrimination as foreigners in
Korea. When they getting on
the subway, for example,
Koreans avoid to sit beside
them. Even more severe case
is that boss whom friends work
with does not call their name
just say ‘야! (‘ya.’)
However, beyond finding
problem, we started to discuss
to overcome and end
discrimination around us.
Preparing the 3rd peace talk,
we need more speaker and
fresh ideas! If you want to be a
presenter or give advice for us,
please do contact us!

How do you think of
volunteering? Volunteering is
usually considered as sacrifice
for others, not wishing any
financial gain. Of course, we
can gain a feeling of self-worth
or self-respect. However, it is
still more influential to others.
Not only people in need who
are served by volunteers but
also third party who just see
and hear the good activities. A
study at Harvard found that
there was a significant rise in
the level of Immunoglobin A
(protective antibody) when
subjects watched the
biographic film of Mother
Theresa.
Therefore, what we are
Share your heart
to Make the World
More Beautiful!

MANNAM is a volunteer organization whose goal is succinctly defined in our motto, our rallying cry, our
call to arms: When Light Meets Light there is Victory. Our mission is to bring all people of different
nationalities, creeds and cultures together through volunteering and to learn and understand about each other:
when good things come together, the result will be even greater – world peace. Korea has long been known
as the country of courteous people in the East and the 'land that does not forget kindness'. Our aim is to
spread our vision and the goodness in this culture across borders. We want to bring the light of love across
the globe and from this will come cries of "Victory!"
