Volunteering for KONA (Korean Organization of Natural Approach)

Today, Monday (September 29, 2008) I attended a program at a Wolbong Middle School with Prof. Kim of KONA Story Book Centre, Mr. Pete Rahon, and Mr. Thet Din. I left the office at around 9 AM and met Prof. Kim at the school.

On the program, we were representative from the May 18 Memorial Foundation. The program had 2 sessions:

1. Session I, it started at 9.45 AM until 11 AM. The audiences were the parents. In this session, Prof. Kim made a presentation about KONA Story Book Centre. We made story map to show the parents how and its usefulness. The participants got a kit which has paper and some English lessons.






2. Session II, it was started at 11.00 M until 12 PM. Aside from the parents, some students also attended this session. This session is about the lesson. There were some discussion between the speaker and the audience.



KONA Story Book Centre also exhibited some pictures, books, journals, and their program in the corridor of the school so the students could see and learn.

It was a good opportunity for the parents to know methods for their children to learn English. From the speakers, we had known some interesting study methods for children. It was an enriching experience for me attended the program, even I did not understand all the materials because they used Korean.



At 12 AM we had lunch with the parents and we were introduced to the students before they had their lunch. We arrived at the office around 1 PM.
