2014-05-25 Mulmangcho: APIS donation

In one of my recent Korea Times columns, I discouraged people from doing donation drives. But some people don't listen to me. And the folks at the Asia Pacific International School ignored me and showed up anyway, making a two hour drive across Seoul to donate items. I admit that I make an exception in their case, because they have donated almost 2 million won to Mulmangcho and want us to make another presentation soon at the school soon.

It was a wonderful day. Of course, thanks to Maynard Villamer (Philippines) for guiding the teachers. He was handling first-timers Jennifer Ai (Canada), Park Bae Yeng (USA-Minnesota) and Rachel Lewis (the UK). They were all great with the students. They wrapped up the day by playing, but making the games a continuation of the learning targets.

It was another enjoyable day at the school.... volunteers, students, staff, visitors, parents, dental students.

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 .

The waitresses have mostly maintained a low profile. There have been numerous accusations and assertions, with some saying the waitresses didn't want to escape, some accused the Park Geun-hye administration of playing politics by releasing details of the case, etc., etc., etc. My blog at the Korea Times today features an exclusive interview with one of the former North Korean waitresses who filed a criminal case against the former manager. You can read about it here on the Korea Times website. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/2023/02/728_345165.html Keep in mind that there are many more facts to the case and that it is much deeper than this brief excerpt of her comments. She also shared legal documents that I shared with the Korea Times well in advance to give them time to review t...
