Q) What is the meaning of 'when light
meets light, there is victory'?
A) Every single person is a light and
should become a light. As these people who are like light meet, we can defeat
the dark world. The MANNAM’s slogan is “when light meets light, there is
victory!”
Q) What does MANNAM pursue in its “culture
and art service”?
A) MANNAM is well-known for its strong
volunteerism and outstanding cultural event planning ability. Delivering
donation to the less fortunate is also a service that MANNAM is involved in,
however, the delivering messages of hope and love through cultural and art
performances is also what MANNAM pursues. Therefore, every MANNAM event is
accompanied with an art and cultural performance of high standards.
Q) Why does MANNAM do country-related
events?
A) It is very natural to dedicate time
and efforts to those we love. As MANNAM loves its country and sincerely
appreciates those who sacrificed their lives for the country, it is logical to
give our time and effort. We do not see this as sacrifice. The question of “why
do you do country-related events?” is equivalent to the question of “why do you
love another?”
Q) Question to the Chairwoman of MANNAM:
“What does volunteer work mean to you?”
A) I believe that the basic foundation
of every ideology is filial piety, and this is not limited to only Korea. When one
is dutiful to one’s parent, it is filial piety; when the same devotion is shown
to a country, it becomes loyalty; and in religion, it becomes faith. This is
based on sacrifice, thinking of others before oneself, which is related to the
core mentality and spirit of volunteer service. Service in MANNAM is voluntary
and dedicating oneself as he/she is doing work at one’s home, even when picking
up garbage on the street. This is the spirit of MANNAM.
Q) What are the future plans of MANNAM?
A) For world peace, there must be the
unification of Korea. Every MANNAM member sincerely longs for unification and
is concerned with the issue. Hence, during the 65th Anniversary
of Korean Independence Day event, MANNAM announced the Declaration of Unification
which expresses hope for a true unification of North and South Korea. Also, the
Declaration of Unification monument was set in the east and west, where the
north is in sight.
Also, as the entire world must cooperate
among one another for the unification of Korea, MANNAM will take the lead in
forming and evoking the world’s consensus and support. For world peace, MANNAM pursues
to become the ambassador of world peace and will host world cultural exchange
events.
