Don't worry, we're still here!

I'm in the process of procuring a web master to keep all our online resources up to date.

In other news, I just got in touch with the President of AKA (NYC, NY). A project is in the works for an East Coast event. Please stayed tuned.

It would probably behoove me to write in this blog, since I've been handing out a lot of my cards.

In the past two months, I've done a Korean Adoptee culture camp, a weekly language school, a conference in PA, and the IKAA conference in Korea. I just got back about two days ago, so now I can afford some time to write (as I should write since I haven't in a while).

I'll be posting some upcoming events, hopefully this blog is being read. Please comment and/or subscribe to this blog so that I know I should continue writing for it.

A news letter will be published soon for the Facebook Group (and shared here), very shortly.

It's been a busy two months, but it looks like things are about to get even busier.

Wish me luck, everyone.

ASIA Korean Culture School

It's been a while since I've updated, been so busy.

I'll be speaking this weekend for adoptive families at the Korean Culture School hosted by our friends at ASIA. Come out and join us. There will also be a cooking class at 9am.

ASIA Korean Culture School


ASIA Monthly Culture School for Adoptive Families

The ASIA Korean Culture School is established to provide learning opportunities for Korean adoptees and their adoptive families so that they can learn about the culture of their birth country. It is a place where children can interact with other adoptees and feel pride in being who they are through fun and creative classroom activities. We believe it is important for Korean adoptees to have a connection with their county of birth while growing up and having a place that provides cultural learning opportunities on a regular basis. Our goal is to provide regularly scheduled events so that adoptive families will not lack cultural education and support that will potentially help their children build sound identities from a young age.

The monthly Korean Culture School will be offered throughout Winter/Spring 2010 for children and parents. The school is open for everyone who is interested in learning about Korean culture including birth siblings. The target age groups are preschoolers (3-5 yrs old) and elementary school students (1st through 6th graders). While children are engaged in their classes, parents will have the option to participate in adult lectures and cooking classes. Children’s programs will consist of arts and crafts, music, play time and cooking lessons. Language classes will be offered in the future.

Location: Trinity Presbyterian Church of Bethesda

7009 Wilson Lane, Bethesda, MD 20817, http://www.trinitybethesda.org

Time: 9 a.m. -11 a.m. /Registration Fee: $100 per child/$75 per parent for five sessions

This semester, there are 24 children and 16 parent learners registered. We will offer another session in the fall of 2010.

A New Beginning

Hello All!

Welcome to the Adoption Links DC Blogspot page. As you can see, this is the beginning of our site. Much construction is to follow.

Please refer to our Facebook page, as it is currently our main page and has much of our information and updates. Right now, this is sort of a trial period so we can possibly make this into our homepage.

That's all for now. Look forward to many more updates!

Spencer
