Apparently this man crusades on behalf of the orphans in Korea. But I've heard some fairly negative stuff about the guy in private converstaion with people who do vounteer work at orphanages. I'd be curious to know if anyone here has heard of him, and if so what their opinion is.

Here is an article from the KOREA TIMES. Check out Fowler's "stats" in the ninth paragraph.

I offered to open my board game cafe for free gaming to kids from any of the orphanages he is associated with, but, after one or two "Sounds great" emails, I never heard from him again.

A huge disappointment for me... I even bought some kids game just for that purpose.

If anyone out there works with an orphanage, the offer is still open.

I do sometimes, but it's a 'baby orphanage' (up to 7 years Korean age) so I think they would be a bit too young.
