2019-01-31 Raffle of the Year (compliments of BsRabbit)

RAFFLE OF THE YEAR!

Thanks to Song Eun Sun CEO of BsRabbit for donating many snowboarding and winter sportswear items for TNKR's 9th English speech contest.

And our volunteers and fans have also been dropping off items, and several more have contacted me to let me know they will be bringing items for the raffle!

Our contest is on February 23 from 2 pm at the Shin and Kim Law Office.

Their clothing is a combination of snowboarding and hip-hop street style fashion. Not only will you leave TNKR's English speech contest learning many things from original English speeches by North Korean refugees, but you could also be leaving the contest wearing some sporty snowboarding wear.

Here's an article about BsRabbit.

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 .
