<Violin Class, Chicken Party and One Wish>


Our Violin Class, which we opened on April 20th, has come to its 6th lesson. While carrying out our violin class, we discovered a very special thing. We have had a perfect attendance rate. No one has been absent starting from the first day. Usually, Korean NGO staffs have biases that there is a high absence rate in gratis multicultural programs, but what we have realized from this lesson is that our children have no reason to be absent if they get to learn in good quality lessons where teachers could give one-to-one guidance.


Since the majority of our Rainbow Dream children (members of our Saturday school program) are going to become third graders, it is an important finding that children respond positively to our high quality lessons. During the initial stage of our social cooperative work 7 years ago, our center's education and lessons focused on liberty and comfort such as being open and free to everybody and providing them with lessons whenever they came to learn. But we realize that now, children might be more in need of quiet, high quality lessons and classes where they can receive a more in-depth education.


On May 7th, we held our Children’s Day after Saturday school session. People from the <Now we are going to fry> event from ‘Goopnae chicken’ introduced to us by Kim Jin Young participated. Twenty Ewha Foreign Language High School students from ‘Daum club’ gave a dance performance for the children, our piano class volunteer Jo Su Hyun gave a wonderful piano performance, and our violin teachers also carried out an elegant violin performance for our Children’s Day celebration party. We were, at first, worried because the scale of our event and party became larger than we planned it to be, but we were able to smoothly manage our party thanks to our 10 volunteers from ‘Happy Move.’ What could we possibly do without our Happymovers? ^^


Lastly, we have one request to make to our supporters. Our Mothers’ Homeland History & Culture Calendar <China, Vietnam series> became so popular that we are almost out of stack and our violin class (our follow-up project after the art therapy program) is currently operating well, but statistically, we are under a large budget deficit for the first half of this year. From January to April, we report a shortage of 370,0000won. Not only is this the first time we’ve held this many programs but it is the first time we’ve ever been short of money. So we are a little bit perplexed. That is why we would like to request some donation from our supporters.


And we’ve found one place we would like to go this upcoming summer vacation! From June 25th to September 25th, Hangaram Art Museum, Seoul Arts Center is holding an exhibition of the renowned picture book author Anthony Browne. Our children would like to see this exhibition with their family or with our volunteers. We have about 30 children, and since we have to split our children and mothers or volunteers into small groups in order to go see the exhibition on weekdays, tickets for the mothers and volunteers are necessary as well. We hope our supporters will consider all of these circumstances. Thank you once again.
