Hye-In (pronounced "Hain") came to the United States for the first time to attend the UMW Assembly in Louisville, KY with a delegation of South Korean women sponsored by and encouraged by KWSCS and Scranton Women's Leadership Center. Following the experience in Louisville, the 14 young women went to New York City to participate in a United Nations Seminar. Most of the young women returned to South Korea after the seminar but Hye-In began another part of her journey. She was invited to spend time with Bonnie in the northern part of Indiana, another week with Mary Stitt, and one more week with Paula Copeland near Birmingham, Alabama where she will also meet with Barbara Petry. Following that tour she will return to New York for a bit more work and inoculations in preparation for her next venture. (That will be explained in another post.)
Yesterday was the "hand-off" to Mary Stitt in Northern Illinois where Bonnie (and driver husband Gene) and Hye-In met another teammate Hae Shin (and her husband) at a wonderful Korean restaurant. It was great to see Hae and her husband Henry. The "Chicago" part of the team had met Henry before departure last August. Gene enjoyed meeting Mary again as she had been on a team with us to Cambodia in 2007. Great evening of getting caught up on life and filling in blanks. We just may have to do that again.
