Kwangwoon University International Volunteer Corps Completes Volunteer Work in Nepal
- Offered Educational Programs, Volunteer
Services, Cultural Exchanges, and Immersive Local Experiences in Pokhara, Nepal
-
From July 12th to 20th, Kwangwoon University (President Jangho Chun)’s
International Volunteer Group carried out a range of volunteer activities in
Pokhara, Nepal.
The international volunteer team, consisting of 20 Kwangwoon University
students and a leader from the Student Welfare Team in the Office of Student
Affairs, actively engaged in providing educational services―such as Korean
language, taekwondo, and computer lessons―to underprivileged children and youth
at the ‘4th Birethanti Human School’, situated at the start of the Annapurna
Trekking Region in Nepal. They also contributed to improving the school's
learning environment through various volunteer efforts. In addition, they had a
meaningful time building bonds with local students through cultural exchanges,
including traditional Korean games and sports competitions.
Since its founding in 2010, the Kwangwoon University International
Volunteer Corps has traveled to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Nepal twice a
year, during summer and winter, with the exception of the period when
international travel was restricted due to COVID-19. Its mission is to
cultivate volunteers and the next generation of global leaders with
international awareness and critical thinking skills, while also raising the
profile of both Kwangwoon University and Korea.
