Chef Park. Ah ReumHi, My name is Park. Ah Reum and I am a chef.
The most memorable moment for me is the first teaching day at Mannam Cooking Class in July, 2011. At first, even though I had been doing various volunteer jobs in Mannam, when I got offerd to teach at Mannam Cooking class I felt kind of nervous at teaching foreigners in English. So it took me some time to say 'Yes' due to my English skills. However, it proved otherwise. The first class was fantastic. All the students from different countries enjoyed cooking and sharing food together. It was so hearwarming. One day, a Korean-American member said, "We really appriciate all of your hard work of teaching how to cook and are proud of you." This made me confident and gave me a lot of strength. That's why I still have been teaching in Mannam Cooking Class as a pure volunteer. There is an old saying in Korea. "Ours is the best." "The most Korean, the most world-wide." I have a faith in the infinite posibilities and the globalization of Korean food. I hope all the people around the world unite through the heathy food culture and want Mannam Cooking class to lead it homoniously. Thank you for the love and care you have been sending us. See you at the class. |
