During the 3 days on July 29~31, there was Summer English templestay for Grades. As foreigner teachers, 5 people who are joining "Saturday Dharma Class" volunteered for us!! The children enjoyed whole the moments with teachers and so they did!!!
108 prostrations and making beads we did~ it was too hard to keep doing it and felt lots of pain on back and knees. But at the same time it was very worthful, like we passed a certain difficult goal. then through meditation, tried to figure out what happened inside of me. 
then, we made a pair and talked about what we feel with each sense organs! Discussed about international etiquettes too. Teachers helped children to have a conversation in English :) 
On the next day, we visited Ganghwa natural farm to experience rural life! children and foriegner teachers had great time ever in their life, especially the Tideland!!
They wrote diary and letters to family and/or friends in English! at first, they felt afraid to use English.. however with teachers' help, they overcame the languqge problem and finally enjoyed speaking :)
They had lots of cultural experiences including walking meditation, coloring the traditional painted fan(Minhwa-), and Tea time with monk.
All we were had great time ever in ISC. Thanks every one, hope you to be happy and lucky:)
