So you wanna volunteer!

 


So you wanna volunteer!

But you aren't sure how to get started? Freedom Speakers International has changed, we are no longer stalking Seoul and the Internet trying to find volunteers to join us every month.

We are now more focused and strategic. That means that our volunteers must also be more strategic.

1) Volunteers should be able to explain what it is they would like to do. That means potential volunteers might want to study us for a while before sending in an email offering their time.

2) We aren't keeping those ways a secret. The Korea Herald runs almost a daily ad highlighting the kinds of volunteers we are seeking.

3) For the month of May, we are mainly seeking volunteers who want to focus on book publishing and fundraising. Book publishing is not for cheerleaders, we need people who recognize that publishing a book is a challenge and requires time and effort. Likewise with fundraising, we need people who are ready to help FSI go to the next level. 

4) For now, we are calling it an internship program, but of course we are open to other titles for those with particular skills that can help us build the organization.

5) Our Human Resources Manager is Daniel Cashmar. That's right, I have been replaced as the person handling new volunteers. Dan will guide you through the application process. Previous volunteers should also go through the process (including resubmitting and updating requested documents).

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 .

North Korean defector seeks justice (Korea Times)

  It was international news when 12 North Korean waitresses and a male manager who worked at a restaurant operated by the North Korean regime in China arrived in South Korea in 2016.  The waitresses have mostly maintained a low profile. There have been numerous accusations and assertions, with some saying the waitresses didn't want to escape, some accused the Park Geun-hye administration of playing politics by releasing details of the case, etc., etc., etc. My blog at the Korea Times today features an exclusive interview with one of the former North Korean waitresses who filed a criminal case against the former manager. You can read about it here on the Korea Times website. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/2023/02/728_345165.html   Keep in mind that there are many more facts to the case and that it is much deeper than this brief excerpt of her comments. She also shared legal documents that I shared with the Korea Times well in advance to give them time to review t...
