As we, all the ex-KOVs, had rendered private volunteering in addition to designated duties upon bilateral agreement between Korean Government and respective countries, successors are doing the same with the spirit of "cooperation for a better world" in grass root level. Today, I could locate one article visualizing the virtue of helping the needy in Rwanda.
Visiting a certain project site or organization in person, we were not visitors anymore but family members or relatives for its residents as if we have known one another since our birth. Mutual joy from such a visit would come from washing, cooking, playing, sharing, feeling, and doing whatever all together!
It's nearly a decade ago that I used to commute from and to the Ministry during work days and would visit NGO sites for weekend. There was neither intention nor consideration as long as we were volunteers. We had just done it.
