Dear all Blessing participants,

I would like to contact you regarding the upcoming blessing in Korea.

Please make sure all the people traveling to Korea with us are registered and we have your flight information. We do not yet know exactly at which venue we will be staying in Korea, this may be decided on short notice depending on the other groups participating in Korea during this time. As you may know besides the Blessing there will be many other events happening simultaneously during the anniversary of Foundation day. Therefore it is important you are registered with us and we have up to date contact info, specifically your email, so we can send further updates later.

In Korea we will arrange airport pick transportation to and from the venue on Arrival and departure days. Arrival is on 10. Feb. (For GIG matching candidates on 6th Feb.) -all day- and departure on 14th Feb. 2014 -all day-. Please make sure to plan your flights accordingly. In the period between the 10th and the 14th of Feb. we will arrange a program for all the candidates and parents. Accommodation, food and travel during this period will be covered. For Blessing candidates, this is free, for parents and family you will need to pay for your costs, the exact costs will depend on where we will stay, but from experience could be around 50 Euros a day.

Please inform us of your plans, in case you are coming earlier or staying longer afterwards. In general you will be responsible for your own accommodation, travel etc. outside of this period. If you need any help, please let us know.

We will have our own staff in Korea from the 6th of Feb. so we will be reachable by mobile phone from then on. Our Korean contact info will go out by email to you, most likely on the 7th of Feb.

For those arriving at the airport, the meeting point will be Arrivals Gate F, Terminal Exit # 14 (refer to diagram below):

You should find our Korean staff there and they will advise you on to a bus to join our group. Please make sure that they are aware that you are part of the European 2nd Generation Blessing group.

For those who had to pay rebooking fees or lost money due to the date change, please keep track of these extra costs, keep receipts and inform us now about how much additional costs you had. In Korea we want to find an arrangement with Korean HQ to reimburse these additional costs, at least partially. But for this we need to know in advance how much it was.

Blessing Donation. All Blessing candidates should complete the Blessing Donation as a condition for attending the Blessing. In Europe the Blessing Donation is 1400 USD for west Europe and 600 USD for east Europe. This Donation should be given to the European 2nd generation Blessing Department. It is possible to pay it in cash in Korea to our staff

(Please no checks). It is also possible to wire it in advance. Please wire it to the below bank account with the name of the Blessing candidate. If you wire, please wire it before 3rd Feb. 2014. Please do not pay the Blessing donation anywhere else.
