2019-10-18 Active, not busy

I recently got a call from a person in media who was surprised that I answered the phone. He follows me on Facebook, he and his team had planned to call my office, connect with an assistant, then arrange a time to talk to me directly.

Instead, I answered the phone, throwing off his schedule.

It isn't difficult to meet me--if you let me know the purpose.

Many people say that I am busy, but I don't believe it is true. I am ACTIVE. Busy means you have no time in your schedule. But if you want to help TNKR in some way, then I can make time to meet you. If you want to chitchat, talk about memes on the Internet, talk to me about talkers who don't do anything except talk or analyze,m or debate with me? Then I will put you through to an assistant.






























Plus:
* Individual interviews with NK refugees.
* Speeches to NK refugee adolescents
* Speech at KOTESOL participation in Street Festival, moderating Small Group Discussions
* Small Group Discussion with American students visiting Korea
* Small Group Discussion #2
* Media interviews
* Korea Times blog: Taking photos with NK refugees, Hanawon experience
* Media Interviews

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 .
