WANDO

Wando (Wan Island) is a big island city consisting of 265 small islands. Among these islands, the place where our partner normally works is Geumdangdo (Geumdang Island) which is smaller than Wando. Currently, Geumdangdo is facing some challenges. Since Geumdangdo is far from the mainland and isolated, many young people are leaving due to the inconvenience. As a result, most of the residents have become elderly, and the children are facing challenges in obtaining quality education. Also, there s a considerable amount of trash such as plastic, marine debris from other countries. Even though the residents try to clean up every day, there arent enough people to handle that problem fully. Our partner hopes that participants can help make a big difference in bringing life back to the village and dealing with these problems. Therefore, participants will teach local kids about their responsibilities as a global citizen based on UN SDGs. They ll also help clean up the beach with the community and experience the importance of conserving the environment firsthand. Additionally, they will host an international cuisine day and cultural exchange session with locals.
