Goodbye Korea

Today is our last day in Korea. We spent the day in a community center that serves Seniors, children, and adults with disabilities in a number of ways.

For senior citizens, they provide lunch, either in the cafeteria or in their home; they offer classes in computers,  yoga, traditional dance, even job training. The center operates a beauty job and coffee job operated by senior citizens in training.

The center offers job training, social skills classes, counselling, and activities for adults with mental and emotional problems.
It has a preschool and after school programs for children.


 Our group was divided into small groups. Libby, Abby, and I got to deliver meals. We walked a few blocks to a high rise apartment building and took meals to 5 households.

 

After lunch, we cooked for a birthday party; chicken nuggets in a green salad, fried shrimp, and little pizzas on toast. 

Finally, we helped with the after school program. We made halloween hats with the children.

   This evening, we went to stage show, a sort of blue-man group in a kitchen setting, but not painted blue...extremely funny and entertaining, and we ended with a farewell dinner at a very nice Chinese restaurant.
