Love for Taegeuk,  and Love for Mugungwha

Let’s brighten this dark world by gathering people of light and bringing them together! 

  MANNAM Volunteer Association, which focuses on culture and art, has joined the world's 54 volunteer organizations. MANNAM mainly volunteered around Gangnam, Seoul, unnoticeably, but with a pure heart. In 2008, a bazaar was held for those in need at the Apgujung, Chungdam elementary school and ten thousand citizens, including local residents participated. Gangnam district office was surprised with the outcome and suggested holding another event together. So, on April 6^th, Memorial Day of 2009, a public patriotic event was held which one hundred thousand people participated on Yeongdong main-street (blocking eight-lanes) in front of the Coex Mall and MANNAM became known as a light of the world. From the spark of these events, MANNAM became a global volunteer organization by allying with 54 domestic and foreign volunteer organizations. The united volunteer organization is enthusiastically volunteering with many domestic and foreign regions. MANNAM, the pride of Korea, will spread the culture of love by lighting up the darkness with the light of love.
