The children, who participated in this thrilling and unforgettable summer event, wore life jackets and protective gear and, under the guidance of professional instructors, enjoyed a variety of water leisure programs such as banana boats, water slides, and peanut boats.

The children created joyful midsummer memories, cheering as they enjoyed the cool rush of water and the sense of speed.

After completing the 'family-like gathering' experience, which was made complete with a warm meal, the volunteers served tteokbokki, fish cake skewers, and jjajangmyeon that they had prepared themselves.

The food, carefully cooked in large pots, delighted the children's taste buds, and the shared meal created a warm atmosphere reminiscent of a family. Volunteers and sponsors washed the rice and served the food themselves, conveying their heartfelt care to the children.

Kwon Jaehaeng, Chairman of the Korea Multicultural Foundation, said, "This event was not just an outing, but a meaningful occasion that gave the children the best memories of this summer," adding, "We will continue to organize various activities so that even more children can build happy memories in the future."

This event was hosted by the Korea Multicultural Foundation and organized by Bongsan Water Leisure Park, with the cooperation of many sponsors and volunteers, including KVECC Co., Ltd., ULTARI Tax Corporation, Angels Basketball Team, Nanumi Volunteer Group, Jesundang, Donghwa Packaging, Daehyun MC Co., Ltd., D&B Publishing, Lee Sangbok Myungkwa, and Tongkeun Namja Makchang.
