New Staff Visits Halmonis! On March 26th, 2021, our new staff member Jiwoo visited halmonis living in Gyeonggi province and Seoul. She shared the following personal reflection on her visits. As a new staff member having only started 3 months ago, I could not calm down my nervousness as I prepared for my first ever meeting with halmoni. As I bought meat and snacks that halmoni would enjoy, I ran simulations in my head of how the meeting would play out. 2021년 11월 16일
New Staff Visits Halmonis! 2 Since our last meeting with halmoni(Click to read the previous essay), I have been asking activist Ppoka and Hang to go together to see flowers as we promised her. Every time Ppoka’ curly hair came into my view, I was reminded of halmoni’s humorous comment ‘messy’ [hair]. In a blink of an eye March passed by and 16th of April, the day that we promised to visit halmoni, finally came. I was very busy on the 15th as I frantically tried to finish all my work before heading off to see halmoni. 2021년 11월 16일
