<Paying respects to a girl> - Paying respects to a girl was buried due to Hurricane Matthew / Paul Kim , Country Director of Global Care Haiti Child! Like a flower that once blooms for a while, I thought you were like that. Until you got into a small coffin….

Child! Even when you were sick and cried all night, When you grabbed your starving stomach and slept on the earthen floor, When you stayed up all night in cold rain and wind hitting on a collapsed wall because you did not have a place to lie down, When you vomited after shoveling up fine soil instead of rice, When even maggots hatched on the top of your wounded foot, Child! I thought like that. I thought your life was like that.

Like a flower that blooms for a while, Like a flower that blooms as the wind blows and withers as the wind goes I thought they were like a helpless sigh, your lives….

You who were born in a corner of darkness, groaning on a dirty floor without seeing a streak of light, Who never sucked warm milk from your mother, and never wore red shoes You who just wore rags with holes with ragged bare feet and a starved tummy...

Born in the mud, played in the mud, and today you laid down quietly under the dirt.

Laid silently in the mad rainstorm.

Child! Someone said that life is grass blooming for a while.

But I wiped with clean linen and put a white dress on you.

I put red shoes on you and put a small flower into your hands.

Now I float you over the black river of vain.

A small wood cradle goes forward quietly making white foam.

Leaves flow along. Petals also flow along.

A mother bird follows up at a distance.

Child! Go now, go far far away.

Go to the land without hunger, nakedness, pain, or shame.

I am sending you to the end of this river of vain.

Child! I am truly sorry.

The only thing I can give you is……. a handful of candy and a small flower. * It is devastating. Many events that make us feel like crying out loud are occurring where Global Care stands. Dear sponsors, please be together with Global Care, so that Global Care can weep with those who cry, and that crying can turn into a blossom of hope.* In the midst of a fall that makes people turn up their collar,

Global Care Chairman Yong-Joon Park

Munhee Lee, Emergency Relief Coordinator in Ecuador

Emergency Relief in Ecuador with Global Care

For me, Ecuador is my second home in which I spent my childhood and high school years as a missionaries' kid. After college, I found myself spending busy days in Korea. Then one day, a great earthquake occurred in Ecuador, and I was horrified by the increasing number of casualties in the news. I wanted to check if my friends in Ecuador were safe, but the internet was out of service after the earthquake. My eyes were moist with tears and all I could do was repeat, "What should I do?". I would leave the next day if it was possible, but all I could do was just worry and feel frustrated that there was nothing I could do for them.

Since I was working, going somewhere was not imaginable and even if I had the time, airfare to Ecuador was something I could not bear the expenses of. However, an unexpected opportunity came to me. News that Global Care was in need of a local coordinator in Ecuador came into my ears. I was so excited that there was something 04

I could do for Ecuador, I handed in my resignation without hesitation and focused on preparing for Ecuador. On my way to my home country after such a long time away, I was concerned about how to comfort people with deep sorrow and what I could do for them.

However, gifts of learning and comforting were waiting for me.

One of the greatest gifts I received was the love from my parents' former disciple and overseas Koreans. I enjoyed a fruit of relationships my parents yielded as missionaries after twenty years of their time. Since I went to bring aid to areas suffering difficulties, I did not expect to receive such consolation. This relief will remain as huge part of my heart for a long time.

On the day we distributed food kits to earthquake-stricken people, one of middle aged women came to us and said, "Even though the government turned away from us, the other side of the globe came to help us. God did not forget us!" Such words brought me to tears, and it was an unforgettable day. I gather the hearts of people who grabbed my hand and asked me to send their gratitude, and send their gratitude on behalf of them. I am truly thankful to all of our sponsors for supporting us. Please keep supporting us and praying for the recovery of earthquake-stricken Ecuador.

Dahee Kim, International Project Team

Monitoring Global Care Nepal

From August 26th to November 5th, I visited Global Care Nepal to monitor as a KOICA ODA intern. While monitoring Global Care Nepal, I visited Bhumlichowk where construction of a health post (part of the earthquake disaster restoration project) was in progress and observed the Tansen Children's Library which was the most impressive part of the project to me.

06

After traveling through 5 hours of a rocky mountain road, I was able to reach Tansen. Tansen was so cool and refreshing that it felt like my few daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of fatigue were melting away. When I reached Tansen Children's Library in Tansen Nursing School with Seonhyo Park (the country director of Global Care Nepal), children started to run toward the country director to greet her. The children, carrying a large bag, ran toward us with big smiles and had a handful of flowers for her. Nausea and fatigue disappeared as I watched children's flowers and chatter and as the country director's eyes filled with love for the children.

The Tansen Children's Library provides various after school activities(both recreational activities and school studies) that children is unable to experience elsewhere. At the library, children are able to escape from the slum and spend time under the care of teachers at the safe library.

Thanks to the country director and local staffs, the library is taking care of 100 children's lives thoroughly.

Monitoring the location was a great opportunity to look at the activities in the actual field that I only had seen second-hand at Global Careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters. After hearing stories of each child and the positive changes in the lives of not only the children but also the employees, I felt once again that international development is ultimately for "people." I will not forget even after my internship is over that international development is work that puts people in first and brings good changes to people.

Mihong Ahn, Country Director of Global Care Bangladesh

Bangladesh “Now We Have Confidence”

Damodorpur Health Care Clinic provides health care and education for pregnant women, children, adolescents, and disabled children in the area. The clinic’s services include family planning, antenatal/postnatal care, neonatal care, sexuality education for adolescents, rehabilitation class for the disabled children, and primary health care. For the last 10 years, Global Care's partner LAMB hospital has trained the CSBAs (Community Skilled Birth Attendants) and supported both the community and the clinic. This year, Damodorpur organized the clinic management committee, and now the committee is overseeing the clinic and its services.

In the past, the community thought it needed the constant help of Global Care and LAMB hospital to keep the clinic running. But now the community has realized that it is time to take over the responsibility for the wellbeing of its own. Through Global Care's 'Project of Integrated Primary Healthcare System Development around Badalganj, North-western part of Bangladesh' the community has learned how to plan a good proposal and budget, to fundraise and work as a team.

In May's monthly committee meeting, the committee decided to build a wall around the clinic to ensure the safety of the CBSAs working night shifts. The committee members discussed and prepared the proposal and budget plan to complete both fundraising and construction by the end of August. Every member of the committee shared the plan and persuaded the union council, local leaders and with the local elites and financial capitalists.

08

As a result, the construction began in July with the help and support of locals and was completed in August.

At the beginning of Global Care's project, the community viewed the task to be extremely challenging. Now, the community gained confidence about its capacity, unity and leadership capability. The contribution of union council and locals showed their appreciation to the service of the clinic, which was very encouraging to the clinic. Also, Damodorpur community members thanked Global Care and LAMB hospital for starting the clinic and teaching them how to take care of it. Global Care Bangladesh is doing its best to ensure safe delivery and antenatal/postnatal care, improvement of the quality of life for the disabled and empowerment for community's selfreliance. Please give constant attention to Bangladesh project.

Taehyee Lee, Global Care Cambodia

Looking Back at My Activities at Global Care Cambodia

"Arun sour sdei! (Good morning!)" It was awkward to say the greeting 8 months ago, but now I greet others naturally. I recall the day I arrived in Cambodia's airport this past February. The scent, temperature, language and even people were so unfamiliar that it was a challenge to even go for a walk back then. But now I feel like I am quite adapted to life here, since everything is a daily routine now.

Although it feels like I had just arrived at Siem Leap Airport yesterday, 8 months have already passed. At first, I came here to seek answers to my life questions and believed that I would find them. However, the deeper I dive into my work here, the further I am drifting apart from the answers. It rather feels that I was more convicted about my work when I made my first step. Although my conviction is lost in questions, I am learning so many things as a volunteer. There is so much to tell that I would not be 10

able to say everything even if I kept talking for 3 nights and days. But I can say this with certainty: without any doubt, everyone here was my mentor.

Needless to say, the country director, team manager and colleagues whom I work with, villagers and children whom I met during the visit to the village, patients in harsh conditions whom I met through medical aid, and even an infant silently sleeping in a hammock. Everyone made me look back on whether I'm on the right track.

Now, I wake up every day surrounded by a now quite familiar scent of Cambodia and start the day with thankfulness. I am thankful for living under a decent roof and for having a strong and healthy body. I am thankful for being surrounded by people with whom I can laugh and sympathize. And I am also thankful for the opportunity to be able to help others even with my capability. Although new questions are born every day but not the answers, I am still thankful. Every time of pondering makes me improve, and I believe that someday this progress will lead me to interact and synthesize with more people, and eventually allow me to provide more help. I have only a little more time left here in Cambodia, and I will endeavor with intensity to be a better me and thus, return to Korea with a matured-self.

Inae Lee, Global Care Philippines

Philippines Project Development Incubating Research Program

Global Care Philippines participated in Project Development Incubating Research Program during September and did a community study on Guiuan, Eastern Samar. For a week, from September 19th, Global Care Philippines conducted general research at Guiuan and surveyed on Homonhon Island, Guiuan. Homonhon Island is at a 3 hoursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ferry crossing distance from Guiuan and ferries once a day, which means the island has poor transportation and is low on infrastructure. There was a hospital in the community that operated several years ago, but it is closed because there is no doctor at the hospital. Thus, Homonhon Island's emergency patients have to go to Guiuan.

Homonhon Island consists of 6 barangays*. Out of 6 barangays, we assembled locals from 2 barangays and mapped resources. The locals drew the map of their village and discussed what infrastructures they have and do not have. On September 29th, a week after the community study, we invited Guiuan's stakeholders and held a public hearing. Guiuan health center officials and nurses of Ministry of Health and Welfare were invited to the hearing, and professors from the local gave consultation with the result of the community study. I am hoping for progressing a health project that will empower health system in Guiuan, East Samar.

* Barangay: the smallest administrative division in the Philippines and is the native Filipino term for a village, district or ward.

Sun Kim, Art Therapist of Our Hahaha Program

Draw the Heart.

Heal the Heart.

- The Story of Art Therapy

For some time now, and through various NGOs, we started to aid and interact with children from all across the world. But if we look around us, there are stil children who are close within our vicinity in need of help just as much as children abroad. Because of their poor home environment, and because of the blind spots of our society, such children are in need of our help.

Starting this September, I had the chance of becoming one of the teachers of 'Our Hahaha' program through Global Care and met children from Community Child Care Centers in Geumcheon-gu and Guro-gu. Community Child Care Centers take care of children after school by providing snacks and meals, school studies, field trips, and cultural activities which the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home cannot provide to them. At the Community Child Care Center, there are children from multicultural families and children of single parents who cannot afford to take good care of children.

When I met the children for the first time, I learned that many of them had low-self-esteem, were depressed, and needed lots of love and compassion.

Last year my art therapist team was able to give continuous emotional support and love through various art therapy sessions to the children in Danwon-gu Community

14

Child Care Center in Ansan City. They were directly/indirectly influenced by the disastrous Sewol-ship sinking in 2014. The team provided art therapy sessions once a week during the spring and fall semesters. (More than 10 children per class) Throughout the 20 sessions in total, we witnessed changes in the children.

'Our Hahaha' program in cooperation with Global Care helps 10 or fewer children from each Community Child Care Center with different methods of art therapy and psychological analysis. The program is expected to get good results by understanding and encouraging the children, as well as constantly observing them. As the sessions progress, children are already showing some positive changes. One child who at first only said forced hellos and did not participate is now actively participating in the session. One boy who only listened and followed what his friends did is starting to express his feelings step by step. Only five sessions have passed, but the children are already waiting happily for the session with sincere greetings to the team. I sincerely hope that as the sessions progress further, more positive changes will be made, and the art therapy to have a good influence directly/indirectly on the children's lives.

One thing I noticed during the sessions was that most of the children had scarce hopes for the future. They had low self-esteem, could not express themselves clearly and present themselves confidently to the class. This being so, it is important to know their thoughts and wishes through various art therapy activities, making this truly rewarding and meaningful work.

There is a saying, 'It takes a whole village to raise a child.' Having the mind that every child is one of our own, everyone in the society has the responsibility to take care of them with love and care. In that sense, I wish to make this program into a program that fulfills children's needs in the future.

Festival Story

Heuijin Yun, International Project Team

The 7th Korea Sharing Festival

"WATER, Cleaner, Clearer"

On October 15th and 16th, perfect autumn days, the 7th Sharing Festival was held at Yeouido park. To celebrate Global Handwashing Day (October 15th), Global Care campaigned on the theme of 'WATER, Cleaner, Clearer' to advocate the situation of the lack of drinking water and poor sanitation environments in Cambodia and Haiti and to fund-raise for the projects to better such situations.

16

About 19,000 children under 5 die of pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and malnutrition (the top 4 causes of death of children under 5) every day worldwide. Half of the deaths are preventable with clean water and the improvement of hygiene. October 15th was declared to be Global Handwashing Day at the UN General Assembly to prevent the death of the children worldwide from various waterborne infections. Global Care is preventing waterborne illnesses and promoting health by implementing 'Health Promotion Project Through Drinking Water/Hygiene, Mobile Clinic Program in Cambodia' and 'La Gonave Disaster (Cholera) Risk Reduction' in Haiti.

The campaign participants solved 3 quizzes about water/hygiene, then eradicated waterborne pathogenic bacteria by playing a shooting game. The participants gained knowledge about water and hygiene and Global Care's related projects. By the bacteria eradication game, participants learned about waterborne pathogenic bacteria and importance of water/hygiene.

We hope this campaign became an opportunity for participants to take more interest in children dying of waterborne diseases. Please send support to Cambodia's water/hygiene and health improvement project and Haiti's Disaster (Cholera) Risk Reduction project.

Dr. Sengsinh Saeturn

Inji Club: Review of Overseas Medical Staff Training Program

My name is Sengsinh Saeturn, and I am an anesthesiologist at Sayaboury Provincial Hospital. Sayaboury Provincial Hospital is at the main of Sayaboury, north of Lao P.D.R. and is responsible for whole general surgery, pediatric, obstetric, emergency, etc. Through the support of Global Care, I was trained at Samsung Medical Center from September 5th to November 18th.

The training was about solving airway management in a crisis situation and how to use airway device assistants in both elective and emergency cases. I have thoroughly experienced in the operation room observing both elective and emergency cases which helped me to understand what I had learned. My supervisor Professor Jonghwon Lee and everyone in the hospital were very kind and did their best to help me to understand everything clearly.

Training at Samsung Medical Center improved my knowledge and enabled me to learn new techniques of anesthesia. With what I learned, I am willing to serve our hospital in the future as well. Lastly through the Global Care(Inji Club)'s Overseas Medical Staff Training Program, I am hoping that a confidential relationship between Korea and Laos will be built.

Thank you.
