At this year's "Bunka-sai" (Culture Festival), two of the clubs related to the chaplaincy at KGU had booths. The Sigma Society, which is a volunteering club, put up an exhibition advertized in this flyer.
The flyer says, "Lots of Thai Children! Pictures! Video! We've been doing volunteer work among the minority people groups in the mountains of Thailand... Riding elephants, working out in the forests! We've seen lots of smiling faces--come take a look!"
The booth was a great success, with many students and a number of teachers getting a good introduction to the work these students have been doing in cooperation with Akha Churches in Thailand and International Soroptomists.
The Fellowship group also put up a booth in front of the chapel--a long standing tradition. This year, we made "Tonjiru" - Pork Soup, a fall time favorite in Japan.
To make this soup, students first had to prepare the "konyaku"--a strange rubbery food made from a root vegetable (like a potato) we usually don't grow or eat in America. I've always thought konyaku was a little bizarre, but the tonjiru sure tasted good when all was said and done!
Good job, everybody!
