Opening [ You & Me Our house ]...
(Hwang Chum-Gon / Open door Social Welfare Center Representative)

We finally prepared 'You&Me Our house' in Yangpyung after long prayers and efforts for it to be prepared. We now see our constant prayers being answered that we really want to prepare a heart healing center for abused children as we have seen cruel realities of child abuse.
I have been doing works related to children and young adults for 13 years so far. And also I have seen cruel realities of child abuses very much. I have been meeting abused children a lot. There have been a lot of tragic and pitiful happenings so far. I have been crying and feeling hurt watching them. So I could not help doing something for them. I have been praying to God with pains of my mind inside me. Whenever I prayed to god, I felt a lot of mental pains, just same as the children did, for many years. One day I felt like I was sinning a lot watching the children dying helplessly. I felt shameful by myself in doing nothing for abused children because I thought the realities were unbearable.
Because I couldn't stand their tragic situations any more, I finally prepared a heart healing center for abused children which I had longed for in my heart. I have been praying to God for this house for many years and now the prayers are coming true one by one. I burst into tears on preparing this house and land. One day I couldn't sleep at night because I was so much excited that I ran to Yangpyung at dawn and prayed to God with thanks. One day I couldn't resist my impulse, that I really want to tread the ground which God gave to us, so I trod the ground all day long singing joyful hymns to God. In preparing this precious heart healing center for abused children, many helps supports have been so far. I prayed towards the night sky to God with gratitude and thanks reflecting their names one by one.
Then I hoped that abused children would be healed and shine like the stars in the night sky with hopes through 'You&Me Our house' watching the big and small stars shining in the night sky while praying. And I confirmed what we have to do in this house watching dawn breaking. We think about the children who were abused and hurt but whom we will heal and guide with loving lights for them just like the dawn lighting the dark night world.
We welcome to this house abused, hurt, abandoned or exhausted children, no matter who they are. And we also want them to feel comfortable in this house feeling at home.
We want to hear their innocent and pure voices with joy ringing in this house with them in accord with nature. And we wish for their hearts to be healed. We want the children who were in pains under unhappy conditions of lives to become happy and joyful through this house. One day I got hurt in my heart when I heard a child say "I want to die." Why does that small child say that he wants to die? But at that time, I couldn't relieve the painful heart of the child. I felt burdened in my heart by the voices of the child ever and ever but now I want to get rid of the burdens through this house more and more. We hope that children will live like children literally and be loved by anyone as much as possible and recover lost innocent smiles in this house. We hope that the children will recover happy lives from unhappy lives and joyful days from painful days through this house.
We all owe debts of love. Anyway we all have to pay back our debts of love little by little for the children and to the children. We hope that the children will begin to open a happy life by means of our paying back our debts of love. Now 'You & Me Our house' is the house in which you and I and we will share loves together and for which you and I and we will work together more and more.
