KIM Spotlight
Hi, my name is Mia Ok Joo. I am in second grade at Chanhassen Elementary. I am Korean. I really liked it when Pastor Park came to visit my school. It was Cultural Awareness Month and my mom asked if we could have a speaker from South Korea talk to all of the children. I was really excited when my teacher said Pastor Park could come visit. He talked to all four 2nd grade classes. I wore my modern Korean hanbok. I felt very special. I got to help with a demonstration of bowing for New Year's Eve. He told the kids all about Korea. He showed us a video and then wrote all of the kids names in Korean. They thought that was so cool! I was really happy because all the kids got to share my heritage. I was very proud. All the kids think it is really cool that I am Korean. My culture is over 5,000 years old and I know who created Hangul - King Sejong!!
The Korean Institute of Minnesota has been a cultural and educational resource for Korean-American immigrants and Korean adoptees and their families since it was established in 1975.
The Korean Institute of Minnesota is a unique and valued organization. The symbiotic relationship between the Korean adopted community and the Korean American community has been nurtured and sustained. The common bond for these two communities is their investment in their youth and wish for Korean cultural heritage to be passed on and shared. It is also a place for adoptive families to expand their relationships with one another.
