Parents/Guardians: Welcome to Philippines Service Trip (PST) 19-20 Webpage!
My name is Paul Kim, PST Coordinator, and this will be our main communication platform for parents/guardians. Student participants have access to this but are communicating mainly through google classroom. I will update all the important information here throughout preparation & during our DW trip.
So thrilled to be part of one of the longest service trips at SFS! Please join me in prayer that this will be a meaningful, eye-opening, and safe experience for all 35 students, and 6 teachers in this trip!
Please let me know if you have any questions (paul.kim@seoulforeign.org / 010-2499-0183).
