Kamsahamnida

One night last year, I remember I was among a crowd covering the wet ground infront of Seoul city hall in South Korea. The Gracias Choir performed this song which very well said what that night was all about and fittingly culminated the IYF World Camp 2011. That night, under the rain, my new friends and I said our goodbyes. And now, it's been a year since I took part in the event. Happy reminiscing, participants in the IYF World Camp 2011.



Perhaps, for many of us who joined the 2011 IYF World Camp in Korea - whatever our motivation was, it is grateful to say that our life has never been the same after the camp. Our individual and common experiences, and personal reflections may have changed us in one way or another, whether in simple or significant terms. Who knows, some may truly had a 'change of heart' in different depths and perspectives on life and spirituality. This personal impact of the event may not necessarily have been brought about by the formal talks or the tourism value of the event, but by the meaningful interactions during the camp and the relationships formed and nurtured after. I have nothing to say but kamsahamnida!
