The 3rd UN supporters of PKNU showed off their singing and dancing skills in front of the veterans of the Korean War in Bangkok in Thailand on August 27th.
The Thai veterans of the Korean War and their descendants smiled delightedly.
9 students of the 3rd UN supporters visited Bangkok in Thailand to participate in a variety of voluntary services with Asia Community School, Open Doctors Society, and so on from August 25th to 31st. This activities were conducted by International Peace Memorial Foundation.
The reason that the 3rd UN supporters did voluntary services in Thailand is that Thailand helped our country when the Korean War broke out. About 6,326 soldiers were dispatched at that time, and the number of the soldiers was the 7th among 21 U.N. nations. Around 136 died a glorious death on the battlefield.
In other words, the students took part in the voluntary services to express our gratitude for the Thai veteran’s noble sacrifices. The students of UN supporters have showed our appreciation of their spirit of sacrifice since 2009 by taking part in these activities. Therefore, these activities can be called one of the ways to keep the peace of the world.
The students showed off their singing and dancing, picked up the garbage underwater in Mayiyong floating market, and made traditional fans with Thai students to express our gratitude.
Oh Min Hwan, who is one of the 3rd UN supporters participating in these activities, who is majoring in International commerce as a senior, stated the following, “I decided to participate in this volunteer works to return their favors because they helped our country in the past. In addition, I can feel rewarded due to their hospitality.”
