Evelyn's birthday (2022-06-15)

North Korean refugee YouTuber Evelyn Jeong always seems to have great timing with FSI! Last year after she joined Freedom Speakers International she came to South Korea on a trip. She ended up being the only person to speak at both our International and Regional conferences.

She returned to South Korea to stay long-term this time. And she contacted us just as we were finishing other projects and were ready to work with her!

On Wednesday she stopped by the FSI office to work on her book. She is a busy lady but she makes it clear that she wants to finish her book. It was her birthday the day before so we had a small birthday party to celebrate!

Casey Lartigue awarded "Social Contribution" Award (Hansarang)

On April 20, 2017, I was awarded the "Social Contribution" award by the Hansarang Foundation. When I was first nominated, my response was: "Hahahaha! I won't win, but it is a great honor to be nominated." It was until I was a finalist that I took it seriously. Then instead of saying "I am honored to be nominated," I wanted to WIN ! Which I did! I was awarded a plaque, 10 million won (about $9,000), and many congratulations from many people (including other awardees that night).

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 .

Is the SOTU over?

Some people asked me if I watched President Biden’s State of the Union. Haha! I have seen enough of them. Not just Biden’s SOTU, but SOTUs by US presidents! Back in 1999, I not only watched President Clinton’s SOTU, but the Cato Institute gave me the task of keeping track of all of President Clinton’s proposals and promises. Since then I have watched few SOTUs, once as a blogger at the invitation of National Public Radio. https://tinyurl.com/3dv5y452
