Last April 2009, Yobi was appointed as the ambassador for a Youth corp programme by World Vision called “Happy Friends”. This programme was developed to encourage more young individuals to be interested in social issues. Since her appointment as “Happy Friends” ambassador she has been active in supporting their volunteering activities. But the recent community service trip to Vietnam was her first overseas participation with World Vision.

For this trip, the team were involved in building a bicycle parking lot for the students of a village elementary school. Dear Yobi was involved in the labour work and mural paintings. She had posted in her cyworld that although it was a short trip but the experiences were very enriching. She seems to have plans to actively participate in more future activities.  Keep up the “HEART” work Yobi ssi !

In 2008, Yobi has changed her name to Park Lae-ah which  is derived from the name of a saint who dedicated herself to a lifetime of volunteer work.

Chào bạn !...Hello Friend !

Yobi was inspired to be a volunteer with a relief organization  after reading some books by celebrated Korean travel writer and relief worker, Han Bi Ya  (read here). Since then Yobi has been expressing her wish to go for an overseas humanitarian expedition. Finally comes 2010, she has indeed welcomes 2010 graciously in accomplishing a virgin humanitarian trip with World Vision. Today, in her cyworld, she just posted a long post and some photos on her virgin humanitarian trip to Vietnam. In her diary and picture postings, she sounds astounded by the humble experience. As she had travelled to the poorest region in Vietnam which is located very deep in the mountains.

She had posted a long entry about the humbling trip that seems to have a deep impact on her to be a better person and to lead a humble life.  The trip seems to inspire her to have a stronger faith and to be strong even when one tripped in overcoming life hurdles.

Yobi ssi, we are proud of the “HEART” work that you’ve dedicated yourself to…every good deeds may come with good returns. We love you for the beautiful humane person you have been. We are looking forward to a more beautiful you….Ajaaaa !

there is an opportunity for a kindness.”

Below are some pictures of her humbling experience and there are couple more  pictures of her friends who she travelled with at her cyworld.
