If you are new to Suwon and looking for voulunteering, please email me!

As you can see, I have uploaded the post volunteering reports after weekly activities. However, what you see is only the tip of the iceberg. About 10 volunteers have become really close friends, work at the same place, share different hobbies, fun and dedicate themselves to the cause and this is not seen online.

Don't just leave should you look for some volunteering action in the city of Suwon. Get involved. Reach out.

Thank you.

Help Your Suwon (Weekly Audit : Dec 5th 2011)

Balance : 37,360 won
Previous Balance : 8,140 won
Newly Deposited : 29,220 won (110,000 won - 80,780won)





Everyone was excited in spite of the dreadful weather. I was tired from running a 10k yesterday and haning out with friends late last night. But I was excited as well.

Yesterday, 11 people came to the activity. ELEVEN! It is an enough number of people to come up with a soccer squad, just in case you are not a big fan of soccer. Kindly, two of the regular members brought their friends along and thus it doubled the number from 5 to 11.

Considering that the weather was cold, I thought there would be more people to give food to at the station than there was last week. We purchased 60 bags and doled out 50 of them. A very decent performance it was. Luckily, I was tipped off on the items that homeless might need; any food containing Vitamin C, or soup.. or anything hot. It would be no problematic to purchase multiple number of tangerines next time but something hot.. that's tad tricky.

Moreover, because more people showed up, we gathered more money and thus more change after the activity. With that money, I would like to purchase neck-warmers that homeless can wrap around their neck to stay warm. It costs only 1,000 won per peace, it is going to be our Christmas gift from us.

I guess I need couple of weeks to garner enough money to purchase not only reflective vest for the participants, but also the neck-warmers. Also, I have been drawing some mock-ups for our logo. Will present them to the participants and ask for opinions.. and they will be branded on our vest. D-6. Until the next session.
