BBQ AT ILSAN

Today a group of young people (they have a band), sponsored a BBQ here at Ilsan.  They paid for all the food, and came and fed all the residents!  Since it was so cold outside, we had to have the BBQ in the gym.


The food was delicious! Kimche (of course), BBQ pork, rice, lettuce (to put the pork in) and soup.  It's not often the residents (or the volunteers) get meat, so it was a special treat had by all. 


This cutie little guy isn't a resident, he was the child of a volunteer.  But he was too darn cute NOT to photograph.
Now let me begin to tell you about the way Korean's throw out garbage. It's quite the process. Each county has their own garbage bags. These bags MUST be used to throw your garbage away. If you don't use them, you will receive a fine from the county. EVERYTHING must be separated out - paper, plastic, aluminum, etc... all leftover food must be put in a container that can be taken to a special location for compost. But you can only throw compost out a certain time of day, on certain days. It's quite the process!
These are the folks that helped sponsor the BBQ.  So of course a picture with Molly and Director Kim was in order.  Notice the gal in the front to the left of Molly holding the little girl...yes, her hair is purple - she is a member of the band.  They apparently played for the residents, but I missed that part because I was with Soo Hee getting her hair done.
After the BBQ some of Holt's para-olympic basketball team were on hand for pictures as well.  We haven't seen them actually practice, but hopefully one of these days we will get the chance.
