Photo Exhibit: A Story of Volunteerism: Americans in Korea, Koreans in the World

This exhibit chronicled the Peace Corps volunteer experience in the Republic of Korea from 1966 to 1981.  The exhibit also featured Korea’s volunteer agency, the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2011.

In 2012, Friends of Korea commissioned a video about the photo exhibit - see below.

The exhibit was displayed in Washington, DC, Honolulu, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Irvine, Columbus, and Seattle.  


사진 전시: 자원 봉사 이야기: 한국으로 간 미국인, 세계로 나간 한국인

이 전시는 1966년부터1981년까지 한국에서 봉사하던 평화봉사단원들의 경험을 사진으로 보여 준다. 또한 창립 20주년을 기념하는 한국의 자원 봉사단, KOICA (한국 국제 협력단)의 활약도 특집으로 전시한다.

이 전시는 워싱턴 디씨, 호놀루루, 시카고, 뉴욕시, 로스 앤젤레스, 어-ㄹ바인, 콜럼버스, 그리고 시애틀에서 열람된 바 있다. 다른 지역도 추가 고려중이며 확정되는대로 공지할 것이다.
