Although children with disabilities make up 16 percent of the total number of children, the students of the Miral School are isolated from society and have no protection. People in Nepal think disabilities are due to sins committed in one¢¥s previous existence. Nevertheless CWNU¡¯s Overseas Volunteers made an effort to become intimate with the children in these poor circumstances.
The volunteers taught children Korean, played Korean traditional games, and sang folk songs together. As a result, they gradually became more familiar. Also, the volunteers gave medicine to the children for whom it is hard to receive health care, fixed broken facilities in the school, as well as providing special education programs for children with developmental disorders. In addition, they taught a local resident Korean and cleaned up the surroundings. The volunteers went all out.
Park Da-som (Department of Special Education, junior), a student who took part, said the students with disabilities in Nepal taught them lessons by living resolutely without losing hope in poor surroundings. And I think Korea has now joined the ranks of advanced countries in the field of various international exchanges like volunteer service.
