👩International Women’s Day: Apple (愛+) Boxes Delivered

To mark International Women’s Day, AXA Non-Life Insurance delivered ‘Apple (愛+) Boxes’—feminine hygiene kits for women in vulnerable situations.

Now in its 5th year, this initiative supports women’s health and helps ease financial burdens with essential menstrual supplies. CEO Hans Vranken and AXA employees also joined a volunteer kit-packing activity to reflect on the meaning of International Women’s Day.

The completed kits will be delivered to 50 women in need, including single-parent families, female teenagers, and low-income households.

The first graduation ceremony was held
at the Eastern Children’s Center in Angeles, Philippines. 🎓

Five children who grew up at the center have now taken an important step forward — all of them were admitted to university, and one student even received a full scholarship to a national university. 🌟

Watching their seniors graduate, younger children also began dreaming of their own future.

Eastern International will continue supporting children so they can pursue their dreams. 💙

🤵8th Annual Concert of the Eastern Choir Successfully Held🤵‍♀️

On November 22, the Eastern Choir of the Eastern Social Welfare Society (ESWS), composed of children from domestic adoptive families, held its 8th annual concert at the chapel auditorium of Methodist Theological University. This year's performance was themed "Hope and Dreams," and was attended by over 120 family members, relatives, and special guests, who came together to offer heartfelt encouragement and support.

Part 1 of the concert was hosted by former members of the choir who now serve as mentors to the current members. The opening performances included a lively number by the "Eastern Band," featuring playful choreography, followed by a group choral performance by all choir members.

Part 2, hosted by Ms. Lee Seo-kyung—a show host and mother of one of the choir members—featured performances by four new young choir members and a solo performance by a junior member, both of which were warmly received by the audience. The grand finale was a touching choral piece performed by all the choir members and their mothers, leaving a lasting emotional impact and highlighting the power of music and family.

Invited guest performances enriched the evening. Notable acts included a cello and viola duet by former members Lee Soo-chang and Hyun Sung-ho, a traditional Korean music performance by child prodigy Narin, and a heartfelt pan flute solo by Mr. Kim Byung-goo.

Mr. Kim Hyun-ki, Secretary-General of ESWS, delivered a congratulatory address, expressing his sincere gratitude to the parents of the choir members, conductor Na Ji-young, director Yoo Ji-sook, and all those involved. He shared his hope that the courage, growth, and love demonstrated by the children would continue to inspire dreams and hope in their lives.

This year's concert was made even more meaningful thanks to sponsorship by MBC's variety show "Hangout with Yoo." The Eastern Social Welfare Society (ESWS) remains committed to nurturing the growth of the Eastern Choir and supporting adoptees and their families through meaningful exchange and support activities. We will continue to help adoptive families build a happy and loving family culture rooted in understanding and stability.

ESWS President Kim Jin-sook Honored at National Adoptive Families Conference🏆

On October 25, the 25th National Conference for Adoptive Families was held at the National Central Youth Training Center in Cheonan. The event was co-hosted by the Eastern Social Welfare Society(ESWS), the Mission to Promote Adoption in Korea (MPAK), Jusarang Community, and Korea Welfare Services, and brought together adoptive families from across the country for a meaningful time of connection and solidarity.

The opening ceremony began with a congratulatory performance by the Eastern Choir of ESWS, followed by a plaque presentation to recognize the contributions of adoption agencies. The event continued with a magic show for adopted children, family-friendly activities such as a relay race, tug-of-war, and balloon-popping games, creating a joyful and festive atmosphere for all attendees.

During the event, Kim Jin-sook, President of ESWS, received an appreciation plaque in recognition of her long-standing dedication to promoting adoption and supporting families. The award honored her continued efforts to ensure that precious lives grow up in loving families full of care and happiness

Since beginning its adoption work in 1972, ESWS has helped connect countless children with families. Although the adoption program was officially transferred to the government on July 19, continued care and support for adoptive families remain an essential mission.

ESWS remains committed to walking alongside adoptive families by providing parental education, family engagement programs, emotional and psychological support, and more ensuring that every child can grow up in a stable and loving home.

👨‍👩‍👧 [Campaign Review] A Warm Gathering for Adoptive Families
On May 29th, the Eastern Social Welfare Society hosted the Domestic Adoptive Parent Training in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi — filled with open conversations, empathy, and support. 💬💛

Parents from various backgrounds came together in a cozy space operated by one of our adoptive families. With a heartfelt lecture by Ms. Hye-Kyung Kim on raising emotionally strong children, followed by Q&A and hands-on parenting tips, many found comfort and courage in shared experiences.

The afternoon upcycling workshop — turning glass into beautiful trivets — added joy and creativity, leaving each family with lasting memories. 🎨

We'll continue to walk alongside adoptive families with programs that empower and connect.
Thank you to our generous supporters for making this possible!

🧡 [Campaign Review] The Day the Child Couldn’t be Protected — Healing Begins with Love
Each year, over 20,000 cases of child abuse are reported in Korea — and 86% are committed by biological parents.

Thanks to our supporters, children like Su-a and Hyun-soo, who came to us with deep physical and emotional wounds, have begun a new journey of healing. Through professional therapy, clean care environments, and steady love, they are rediscovering joy, safety, and their own voices. 🌱

None of this would be possible without the warm hearts of our donors.
Let’s continue to stand with children in crisis — so they never feel alone again. 💛

🌏 [2025 Korea Adoptee Peace Festival] Heartfelt Messages from Foster Mothers 🌿

From June 13 to 14, the 2025 Korea Adoptee Peace Festival was held at Omma Poom Park in Paju. Around 300 overseas adoptees, their families, and citizens from around the world gathered for a meaningful time together.
The Eastern Social Welfare Society participated in the event by exhibiting heartfelt messages written by about 20 of our foster mothers. These messages were filled with memories, love, and the warmth of a mother’s heart. 💌
Among them, foster mother Ms. Shin Ki-sook, who cared for 61 children over 19 years, deeply moved many with her message: “You are not alone.” Her baby journals, handwritten letters, and the stories of adoptees and their families touched the hearts of many. 💞
The Eastern Social Welfare Society will continue to stand beside adoptees and their families — always here, always together. 🫶
