Wow! There are 500 Children at the Boys Town Orphanage! I think these kidos really need our help. Can you imagine how difficult it must be to stand out and find some individual attention in a population that large?! 

This is gonna be such a FUN Day! 

12:30 We will meet at Nampodong Station Exit 7 (be careful that you don't confuse the underground mall exit for the subway exit- the underground mall exit has a 111 in an orange circle, the Subway exit says jihachal in Korean and the blue circle with the exit 7 its an escalator)

1pm-3:00pm Spilt into two groups. 10 Teachers will make Kites with 10 kindergarten kids then go fly their creations. Afterward we'll play some simple games. Another 10 Teachers will make kites with 10-20 middle schoolers and then go off to play basketball with them. They have a huge basketball court there! 

These kids almost never eat sugar or eat junk food so if everyone brings a family pack of something sweet, I'm sure it'd make there day even more special. ALSO-bring your ARC card! Naturally, the staff is cautious of who they allow in contact with the kids so they may want to photocopy it. 

With your help we can make a lasting positive impression on these young minds. Let's make English fun! That said, some of these kids have been through a lot, please RSVP with integrity. The more people they can relate to as a role-model and trust the better, right? 

Based on this event the Orphanage may offer us a regular volunteer position teaching English. If you are interested please let me know.
