Summer 2017 Participant
After the program was finished, on of the Korean co-teachers told us how amazed he was with us. He told us that quite a few of the students who were shy to practice their English spoke more with us in English than they did with him! It was great to hear that we did make a difference with some of these girls.

Hazara Leon, Summer 2017 Participant
You really do learn how to balance work and school. As a college student this is a very valuable skill for learning to manage your life during your four years of college. Another great skill that you acquire is building connections. As you immerse yourself in the culture you begin to build friendships with your peers, students, Kyunghwa teachers, and even the people in the community.

Summer 2016 Participant
Be prepared to work hard and in return get one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.
