2020-05-31 Top Fundraisers this week, featuring Eunhee Park

All of the fundraisers are special in their own way, wonderful little snowflakes gently landing on my head. This particular post today will highlight Eunhee Park's fundraiser.

2) Alabama Matching donation challenge

4) India Meyers, "Goin Bananas for TNKR!"

5) Julianne, "Help North Korean refugees learn English!"

6) Stase Lynne Wells birthday fundraiser

In addition to the usual ills plaguing mankind, there is a global pandemic, riots in the US, and probably a lot of mayhem going on in other countries.

Despite that, some people are still taking the time to support the Teach North Korean Refugees Global Education Center (TNKR).

I must highlight TNKR Ambassador Eunhee Park setting up two birthday fundraisers to support TNKR. It is extra special when one of the students in your program believes it is important to raise money to support the organization.

In just one day, she has already raised more than $400--and it isn't even her birthday yet. What has been the secret to her success?

* She personalized the message.

* More than 700 people have been invited to donate, I am assuming by her. Eleven people have donated so far. She is being proactive with it, which is important. Most people don't bother with even setting up a fundraiser, which Facebook has made so easy to do. Many who do set them up don't invite anyone. There are so many messages, so many controversies in the world that it is easy for postings to get lost in the shuffle.

* She set up fundraisers at both Facebook and re-posted her fundraiser at our crowdfunding site.

Michael Vick ain't got nuthin on me!!!

After football player Michael Vick admitted that he had been running a dog-fighting business I wrote that he was an idiot. If he was going to engage in such activity he should have gone to Indonesia or somewhere else. He certainly had the money to do so at that time. If he knew then what he knows now then he would have spent $10 million to run his dogfighting ring in Manila. Today I did something that probably not even Michael Vick ever did: I ate dog meat. I never expected that I would do so. It is a bit scandalous because Koreans don't just kill the dogs and eat them. Rather, they will beat them to death while they are still alive. That allegedly is to get the adrenaline flowing which allegedly makes the meat more tender which allegedly improves a man's stamina. I had told a friend that I wanted to give it a try. But as we sat down to eat I said: "I want to try this but don't give me any details until after we are finished eating." It just looked like regular me...

2020-09-24 Still a Little Big Hero?

  A former cable TV staff member dropped by TNKR's office today. This is TNKR's second office. When we first moved into our first office in 2016, he donated some items, mainly a microwave office that we still have. His gift today: A testimonial about how difficult I was for the TvN staff to deal with. Apparently everyone (other than Casey Lartigue) featured by TvN has opened up their lives and homes for the cameras. I said "no thank you." Not only that, but I didn't want them to feature me. As I said: "It would be better to highlight the organization instead of me." That was in 2016, when TNKR's future was uncertain, and needed a boost more than my ego does. They tried to convince me, but I said no. I would prefer to stick my head in a lion's mouth. I mention this because I have heard grumbling in recent years about how much I get featured in media, with some people complaining that I don't give Eunkoo or others a "chance." People w...
