The Walk for Peace and Restoration with MANNAM and MYIC(1)

2013, 05, 25 in Seoul.

There was such a movement, the Walk for Peace and Restoration.

Held with MANNAM, MIYC and a good many international youth groups working for Peace.

Participants walked 2km with one heart longing for world peace.

No war, World Peace!

Participants made many creative pickets to show what they, we want!

(This one is a bit straight though, still cool)

It was held in Seoul, South, Korea.

It was so good to see many many people from all over the world who are willing to do something memorable and sustainable for world peace.

Over 30 degrees couldn't bother these amazing people's work and actually motivated them getting hotter passion:p

Come on!! XD

The parade was happened along Olympic Park in Seoul which was built to commemorate Seoul Olympic in 1988.

The cute tiger character you see in the right part of this photo was Seoul Olympic mascot, Ho-Dol-Yee.

What a cuttie pie with Peace sign?! lol

I will let you get to know more of this walk as a series day by day(Hopefully).

+Hope to have a chance to talk about this such a character, Ho-Dol-Yee[호돌이].

MANNAM's representative song, 'Hand In Hand'

                                 

Hi, friends!

I would love to introduce such a song, 'Hand in Hand'.

It is for PEACE.

Most of Koreans know this song and love this song.

Personally I love this song, I feel we can really become ONE.

Isn't it easy to become pessimistic about world peace?

Isn't it just common to not to talk about world peace?

Haven't you noticed people wouldn't be interested in this such topic?

However!

Listen to this song and start doing a little bit.

MANNAM has chosen it for the organization's representative song.

MANNAM is a word in Korean, it means 'meeting'.

The main slogan is "Light meets light, there is a victory".

Let's become a light and gather together.

Let's step forward and move together.

World peace will be shown up with our effors and hearts.

(Cheesy! but true!)

The flame rising high in the sky

우리들 가슴 고동치게 하네

Makes our hearts beating fast

Let us stand up

영원히 함께 살아가야 할 길 나서자

And go for the everlasting way to live together

Hand in hand

I can't skip out a bit from Wikipedia :p

Hand in Hand(Korean name: Son-e Son Japgo (손에 손 잡고) ) was the theme song of the 1988 Seoul Olympic.

This 4:13 minute song was produced by Giovanni Giorgio Moroder (Italian).

Its English lyric was composed by Tom Whitlock (American), Korean lyric by Kim Moon-hwan (Korean).

It was sung by Koreana (Koreans)

Indeed it is very little, though lol
