No one left behind us !!!

I have been VERY interested in UN and NGO

and studied a lot from long time ago.

Also I have longed for working at UN or NGO

with the youth around the world someday.

First of all, I must thank "SERVAS" and the members

who helped a lot for me to attend this UN NGO conference

in KyeongJu. I am sure I will repay for that from now on.

Through 20th century which was suffering from wars,

21st century is marching for the world peace on an axis

UN. UN proclaimed that " we must keep the world peace

with NGO, except politicians, religion and nations that cause wars

and quarrels. That is why NGO made me so excited.

UN restarted last year, targeting SDGs which is huge

changes of our societies with 17 goals through MD.

Last year, I eagerly studied on 17 goals in English

so I could understand deeply this Conference.

Furthermore, this conference became my another

turning point as well. I can not describe about my feeling

on the conference. Yet I would like to tell you several

things.

First, this conference was held for the first time in Asia

and Africa, thanks to UN general-secretary Kimun Ban

a number of university students could attend there as staff.

So they obtained precious chances from the world event.

Second, most of the leaders in UN were SO HUMBLE

and gentle like the first class people. They had great

personality to treat students and all members equally.

Especially women leaders were kinder to me.

Under-secretary-General Cristina Gallach

She was dancing with the youth during the break time

that was so amazing and made them so excited.

and she met the students face to face really sincerely and kindly

it was very touching to me.

Ms. nasrine Gross의 Speech was Golden Saying.

"I am 70 years old. and I am already old !!

The world is yours for the youth !!!"

I was nearly crying from this word. I think she

is a great leader, and so humble. she did not have any decorations

in her mind. She talked with her whole spiritual mind.

"Come to AFGHANISTAN to help the students who can not

study. I felt so sorry. when I was young I was the youngest of my family

I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters and me. My parents were poor

So it was difficult for me to study. I studied English in the field

during working. and I had to study Math in the bus.

As I did not have free time to Study. I DO RESPECT her.

Third, the woman who was sitting on the wheel chair with white

clothes. I did not know she was a disabled person during the penal.

After meeting she met so many young students for many hours.

She told us her story. she had a terrible accident when she was young.

The doctor said " You can not be alive any more. After the accident

she barely could live and could not walk any more. At that time

her mother said " You must study" Thanks to her mother she can work

around the world with UN. That was a wonderful story. She appealed

" Study when you are young. Education is the most important thing

in the world"

Lastly, the woman who was an international vice-president of WFWPI

Carolyn Handschin-Moser. She has been to North Korea several

times to reduce Newclear weapons. Her members said she is really good

and a great leader, and she always thinks to help others every single moment. I could feel through her members as well.

Her members trust her a lot, and follow her honestly. Far from Korea

they pray and act for Korea's peace and world peace. I appreciate it.

I felt their so beautiful mind through their dedicated actions.

In this conference I learned real knowledge "Informal and Non-formal

Education" That was a huge change of my mind as well.

After the conference I met a woman who is from Denver in USA.

Having lunch together we talked deeply connecting our real human

kind.

General-secretary Kimun Ban appealed for the youth in Korea,

"Do not stay just in Korea, Go abroad !!"

This is a tremendous massage for korean students and the youth.

During the conference I announced about "SERVAS" to over 30 people.

They were so happy to hear that and agree to join us.

From now on I will act and make an another page for the world peace.

" No one left behind us"
