Hello, my name is Lee Nadan, and I am joining Migration to Asia Peace (MAP) today.
Through a refugee rights course, my interest in “migrants” in Korea grew, and I came to pay particular attention to the lives of migrant workers. Writing a letter to a Korean employer who discriminated against migrant workers, holding a festival for Filipino students in Korea and marriage migrant women, running all day between the immigration office, the court and the prosecutors’ office to extend the stay of a stateless person, and searching for hospitals late into the night with an asylum seeker suspected of having a serious illness: these and other experiences seem to have been the stepping stones that led me to MAP. Gradually, I came to dream of a world in which everyone enjoys the right to live as a human being.
In particular, a variety of events are planned for this June, including a refugee march flash mob, the GOMAPGO fundraising party and a refugee film festival, so I am even more looking forward to my time at MAP. I hope that, through my life at MAP, I will meet many different people and become a worker for peace who cares for and respects others. Thank you.
