In 2018, Kiko became the world record holder for the time taken for a solo female rower across the Atlantic Ocean. She reached the other side a full week ahead of the previous record, which in itself is a remarkable achievement. However, when you learn more about Kiko's journey to that moment and her work since, you will be even more inspired!

We are very happy to be welcoming back Daniel Nabben, who was one of the judges in our inaugural Service Fair.

They host events to raise funds to support underprivileged local Jeju residents and have a unique, fun way of fundraising, such as volleyball matches, to generate the funding needed to support vulnerable members of the Jeju community.

Inter-Korean Cultural Exchange Association
Inter-Korean Cultural Exchange Association
The Inter-Korea Cultural Exchange Association works with the Ministry of Unification for the peaceful unification of the South and North, which is believed to be the aspiration of 70 million people.
They use inter-Korean social and cultural exchanges to establish connections between Koreans that have been separated for over 50 years and aim to restore homogeneity to Korea. This means that they have to overcome the different ideologies of the two Korean nations, unify the language through academic and human exchanges as well as promote the mutual exchange of national art to share a common foundation of culture.
