We had a big bazaar at the orphanage a couple weeks ago. A bunch of the kids helped the staff sell stuff that the orphanage had received through donations but didn’t need. It was a long day of work, but I had fun working with the kids. Enjoy the pics…
Ah Reum and Ye Jin setting up to sell slippers
Hae Ji and Sun Mi with slippers they purchased (I love slippers!)
Yong Shin with his loot, including the sunglasses
Min Je selling all sorts of random stuff… this is the way Min Je likes to pose for photos (including the eyes)… goofy Min Je =)
Young Eun and Dae Chul selling some random stuff
Eun Song and Hyun Hee Kim at the nail art table
Hyun Hee Joo and Kot Nim at the flower section
Choong Hyuk, who is now taller than me making him the tallest person at the home, serving as the greeter
Moo Jong (office worker) and Jin Seul selling choco pies and Japanese kool-aid (orange colored syrup water with little jello bits in it, gross)
With Korean school classmate Che-Ko (Mongolian) and my teacher, I had invited them both
One of our puppies… they’re getting bigger
Yoo Jin amidst a bunch of stuff… we get so many donations of random stuff… I’ve found boxes in storage of McDonald’s happy meal prizes…
Kyung Mi dorm mother, Soo Jin (6th grade), and Chae Hyun (5th grade)… the kids are getting bigger… when I first came they were probably her shoulder height… you can see three community girls in the background looking at me wondering why a white guy is around…
Se Bin’s birthday party (Eun Ji, myself, Se Bin, Soo Jin, and Hae Ji)
Se Bin after she blew out the candles… she is 12 years old now…
Our kimchi making days (called Kimjang) are scheduled for November 22 and 23. That means once again I will not only be eating kimchi on Thanksgiving Day, I will be MAKING IT. Its so ridiculous I want to cry. Feel free to air-mail me some turkey and pumpkin pie. God bless!

ahhahaha i LOVE kimchee…let’s trade…you send the kimchee, i’ll send the turkey.
making kimchee… you’re more korean than i am. =] 상록 had a bazaar(?) last Saturday, but it didn’t seem as big as the one you all had. it looks like you all had nicer stuff too.
glancing at this entry again, i had a sudden, indescribable urge to ask if you all sold anything… bizarre.
i know, i probably should have kept that to myself, but sometimes we just have to go with our instincts, against our better judgment, no? i was also curious if the Nov. prayer meeting was still on with the Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday. hope you’re doing well in this cold we’re experiencing.
dang the kids are so cute…
praise God for xanga and facebook, this way i can see how you’re doing when i’m in the states!!! =)
