If you are new to Suwon and looking for voulunteering, please email me!

As you can see, I have uploaded the post volunteering reports after weekly activities. However, what you see is only the tip of the iceberg. About 10 volunteers have become really close friends, work at the same place, share different hobbies, fun and dedicate themselves to the cause and this is not seen online.

Don't just leave should you look for some volunteering action in the city of Suwon. Get involved. Reach out.

Thank you.

Ellen Page

She is young. She is tiny. AND she is Canadian. And yet, she is extremely talented, so much so that she was in Christopher Nolan's movie; Inception.

It is a bit hard to capture the qualities of hers as an actor since she is very versitile. Because of her physique, her past roles have been normally limited to teen girls. Nevertheless, the roles were fully equipped with interestingly bizzare and unique charateristics enough to even out possible mundacity. For example, she played a teen girl/single parent in Juno, a teen girl/ultimate punisher for a pedophile in Hard Candy, a teen girl/wannabe superhero kid-sidekick in Super and finally a teen-girl(?)/Inception facilitator in Inception.

At the same time, I will be tad worried in the next few years as to how she is going to lead her acting career. Well, because of her physique, her roles never have entailed anything sexual. Even in Hard Candy-  And this might be a snag down the road- I meant, she is one of those girls that you can easily find around you. A girl that you (I mean guys) would like to befriend with. A cool girl who would know a lot of things about guy stuff e.g. rock music, action figures, sometimes sports. And yet you don't need to worry about complicating things with her since you don't necessarily feel attracted to her. It is not that she is not attractive. But it is that you would never consider her that way... unfortunately.

And this might limit the spectrum of her acting. Maybe or maybe not. She is like Michael J. Fox in a way. Both are great actors and yet they may be bounded by a certain typecast that ONLY they can perform.

Well, she is still young and she has a helluv years ahead of her, so I am sure she will figure things out. It will be interesting though to observe her grow up in the years to come.
