THIRD DAY OF GRAND MARCH



Sung-Hee Choi reports from Jeju Island:

Under the hot sunlight, march was continued with joyful songs.

Starting in the early morning, the West team walked about 30 km on the day from Hamo beach to the Hallim. Even under the hot sun, the march was being continued with joyful songs. Marchers who had endured hot sunlight and heating cement roads were cheered by the 119 emergency unit members who spread water to them, making all laughing.
 A villager elder says, “By this hard working, we can save the peace of our village. We so thank to all the people who came here upon the news." A boy says, “I am not tired. I am OK. I can even run at my best.” A man says, “The way we are hard-walking is not a [recreational] olle but it is a way of Peace.” 

Because of anticipated typhoon, Damrey, people slept at the floor of a big sports hall. Dinner after long walk is always welcome! A long day passed again.
