Big, huge thanks to dozens of people who volunteered to teach English to North Korean defectors. Thank you all so much. The Korean passed your contact information to the person who would be coordinating this.
A few things to note. So far, all the charter schools that the Korean knows of are in Seoul. For those of you living outside of Seoul who volunteered (and kindly included your location,) the Korean asked if there are any opportunities in your area also. Stay tuned for more details.
For those of you who still wish to volunteer -- please include your contact information (email and cell phone number, if you have a cell phone) and your location. If you are not in Korea right now or in the very near future, the Korean is afraid to say that it is very unlikely that there will be anything you could do. These charter schools and organizations are very small, and for most of them this is their first time dealing with a group of non-Koreans. Please be patient if there are any bumps in the road. The Korean will continue to pass along contact information as it comes along.
Got a question or a comment for the Korean? Email away at askakorean@gmail.com.
