                                   KAFLA Walkathon 

Last Sunday I got the opportunity to participate in a charity walkathon for the earthquake victims of Nepal, arranged by KAFLA (Korean association for foreign language Academies). The venue for the walk was Gwanghwamun Civil Park, all the participants start gathering around 8 to 9AM. Before the walk some guests from KAFLA and National Assembly deliver their remarks on the event.




Walk was divided into 14 stations where some of the random station got surprise gifts via drawing box for the participants. We started the event with some of the KTO members. I felt lucky to have one of the KTO member who was really great with the navigation system. At the first station there was a prize box fortunately I won some drinks. 
We tracked our map out and continued to make our way from the beautiful village and calm cafes to the other 14 stations. We smash one more prize station before the halfway point, there I won a set of pen with some Gatorade. It was a sort of publicity for the upcoming Winter Olympics coming to Korea in 2018. The last prize was on the top of the hill where the view of seoul was extraordinary.



In the end of walkathon we had our lunch at the nearest subways station and enjoyed kids dodgeball game followed by lucky draws. Unfortunately I did not won anything this time. Overall it was fun and I had a great time with everyone. Organizers distributes some gift bags and cups at the end of the event.
