I got a letter from a guy named Abhishek Joshi, an expat living in Suwon; he wanted to spread word about a program expats in Suwon have organized, to volunteer at a local orphanage there. He's looking for people who will join him and the others who are already part of the crew, and volunteer in Suwon - give back to the community where we live. Here's his site. I'm also writing about this at the 2S2 Community blog.
Hermit Hideaways, steadily winning more and more "hey, buddy: sweet blog!" points, has some upcoming concerts you can attend. This is another live show you can attend. Carsick Cars - Chinese Post-Punk.
I have a ton of listings of events and things in my facebook inbox:

I heard from the Wild Women's Performing Arts Festival (WWPAF), is a bi-annual fundraising event that uses visual and aural performances in order to address the issue of gender equality in Korea as well throughout the world.
Proceeds from the Festival are given to the KWAU (Korea Women's Association United), an organization that advocates for women's issues in Korea, including the Korean Women’s Hotline, the Dashi Hamkke Anti-Trafficking Organization and agencies for disabled women.
The Festival will be at the Mong Hwan in Sinchon (Sinchon Station, Exit 2). The event will be held on Saturday, February 27 from 8pm-5am.
(all photos on this post are from last year's WWPAF festival) Yet again, there's more information about the event on Facebook.

Thanks for the nod. ;)
A professor at my in-laws' church gave me a book he wrote, about his semester in the American Midwest. He mentioned the Korean adopted orphans he met there, and how ashamed he felt at seeing them having to be raised by Americans instead of Koreans. Good luck to your acquaintance with the orphan project.
