Again Volunteering!

I seem to have hit upon this wonderful way of spending my Saturdays! Yesterday saw me again joining volunteer activity.

Was off to the Anyang Benest Golf Club to join the hippotherapy volunteer activity.

It is amazing the kind of experiences this country seems to give me. There have been various first-time experiences since the past two years.

Considering that I don't remember being neat to a horse ever in my life, going to the stables very month is exciting. Had it not been for the steep charges to learn horse-riding, I would have gone for that experience too.

It is an elevating experience spending time with children there. And,the inner strength of the parents cannot quite be measured. With children as special as these, parents have their priorities much different from the crowd. I try to make the best of my limited Korean language skills while being involved in the activities. I seem to like being near horses!

Other than spending time in a way I feel fruitful, these activities also serve to test my continued enthusiasm. NGO work is also one big area of interest for me in the near future.
