i have a friend coming from an eu country for a little over a week. she'd like to volunteer at an orphanage while in seoul for that time.

any leads on who to contact? or other suggestions? thanks

Don't do it unless your friend gets proper work visa. Besides, why volunteer in Korea?

There are other SE Asian countries that would appreciate volunteerism much more than Korea.

I'm very familiar with one orphanage (not in Seoul) and quite frankly I can't think of what a non-Korean speaking volunteer new to Korea would do there for a whole week except be in the way most of the time.

They might appreciate someone reading stories to them in English and spending time with them (the kids)

Stay legal out there, folks:

Immigration hotline: 1345

You need a work visa for unpaid work?



Oh right, its Korea, why the shock...

Sorry, I know this is in the wrong forum, but I'm waiting for my other forum registration to come through.

I'm flying via HK next year, and I have an 11 hour layover, how can I go about doing some volunteering while I'm there?
