2016-10-11 "South Koreans don't care"

People say it about many issues, including about NK refugees. But it does seem that we are making some progress. Looking around the office, South Koreans are coming to us...

* 김유리 comes in Tuesday mornings for three hours. This time she decorated the office, corrected the name plate on my door, and made calls to South Koreans who joined our Open House on Sunday.

* We had two South Koreans join us today as in-house tutors.
* Youngmin Kwon is at the office all of the time now, he seems to be another piece of furniture at the office.
* A documentary director will be visiting either today or tomorrow, he wants to help TNKR with making some videos.
* Tonight two more South Koreans will be dropping by to discuss how they can highlight TNKR in a podcast.
* We now have four South Koreans who are monthly donors to TNKR. 
TNKR이 정기후원자들을 위한 CMS도 개설하였습니다. 이 또한 시작이라고 생각합니다. 지금까지 후원해주시고, 지원해주신 모든분들께 감사드리며, 저희 TNKR이 좀더 성장할 수있도록 도움주시길 원하시는분들 계시다면 함께해주세요:)

Okay, it won't save the world, but it is still great to have South Koreans volunteering with TNKR.

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 .

From nothing to something super special (2023-02-10)

FSI has moved into a better institutional neighborhood where we are the poorest in the area. In August 2022, I was elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Freedom Speakers International (FSI) and in January 2023 FSI achieved incorporation status in South Korea. This has meant that FSI must upgrade operations and structure and I am the one, as chairman and co-president, who will be blamed if it doesn’t happen. I really should not be the chairman, for a variety of reasons, but anyway I am. Eunkoo and I are not the typical executives of a growing organization. In addition to being mainly responsible for building and fundraising for the organization, we are the hands-on leaders who are constantly in contact with North Korean refugee speakers. We look forward to the day we can afford staff to handle many tasks. Until then we can expect to continue having more days like yesterday, even on Eunkoo’s birthday. 2023-02-10 Meeting #1: planning We started Eunkoo’s birthday with a planning...
