Korea Tour Talks with North Korean refugees: Chanyang (2022-07-06)

Freedom Speakers International (FSI) met with several tourists visiting from the USA.

The featured speaker was North Korean refugee Chanyang Ju (standing between FSI co-founders Casey Lartigue and Eunkoo Lee). Chanyang first joined Freedom Speakers International in 2013 shortly after we began our activities. At that time she was at the ABC level. It is amazing seeing her engage with people in English.

She is engaged in many activities. It seems that she is always on the go! She is a speaker who enjoys engaging with audiences. And that's a good thing because this particular group of tourists was quite lively. When I did a brief introduction they asked several questions.

Shortly after Chanyang started speaking they had several questions.

She handled it well, welcoming their questions.

I introduced a bit about the two books that FSI has published this year.

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 .
