2013-12-22 Mulmangcho Christmas Party

Thanks to our friends at HOPE (Helping Others Prosper Through English), the kids at 사단법인 물망초 - Mulmangcho had a spectacular Christmas party. From start to finish, it was action packed, fun, and exciting.

Special thanks to Edward M. Robinson for putting on yet another fantastic party. He shocked them back at Halloween--this time, they were expecting to be entertained--and Eddie didn't let them down!

Thanks to our regular Mulmangcho volunteers Cielo Yoon, Lovy Kim, Sayaka Morita, Kristen Alice and Laura Nell. And we were joined by first-timers Erin and Dannie from Kangwando, and Alison and John from Nowon. Kristen led the actual classroom time in the morning, the last time for a while. She just got a great job offer down south, so she won't be volunteering as regularly as before.

I will wait for Eddie to give me the names of the HOPE volunteers, but one I must single out is Star Martinez. Instead of buying gifts for her nieces and nephews, she bought gifts for the kids at Mulmangcho. That means she won't be well-liked within her own family for a while, but she will always be welcome at Mulmangcho!

Pierrot the Magic Artist entertained the kids, just as he did the previous week at the Severance Hospital.

What a day. It started with the first group taking the bus from Seoul at 9:20 a.m., arriving in Yeoju at 10:25 a.m., teaching from 11-12:30. While the first group kept the kids distracted, Eddie and his crew arrived after noon and started setting up the party. I guess it finished up around 5? I got home around 8 p.m.

Chosun Monthly magazine [Korean language]

Chosun Monthly Magazine has made an announcement (in Korean) about the Seoul Honorary Citizenship award that I received on December 9, 2022. Our Korean staffers say that the magazine is a big deal in South Korea. Here's the overall roundup of media about the award. In the next two months, I have extended interviews coming up in two different magazines, one in the USA and one in South Korea. Both articles will be in respected publications so they should raise awareness of FSI's work that your support makes possible. * * * Support FSI via Stripe or PayPal . https://donate.stripe.com/3cs28F5IAcc85IAaEF or PayPal .
