On October 12th 2008, the 15 CDI and April English branches from Busan and Changwon cities met together at the grounds of Yeonsan Middle School for a company-wide sports day. Events included Foot Baseball, Tug-of-war, Karaoke and Dodgeball. In the end, a lot of laughs were had and many new friendships between the branches were made.
Such events are symbolic of the cohesion and friendliness between the CDI South community and we look forward to the next gathering at the end of the year.

The dodgeball matches were hotly contended.

For lunch, the company spent US$1500 on food, including two roast pigs, as well as $500 on beer! It’s just our way of saying “Thank you for all your hard work!”
