"In the service of Democracy, Peace and Development" - this motto describes the work and goals of the “Hanns Seidel Stiftung” – German for the Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF). This is equally true for its work in Germany as it is for its international commitments. The HSF is an independent German think tank located in the Bavarian capital, Munich. Its main tasks are political education and research, consulting in a variety of policy

fields, international cooperation and development and help for national and international students. For more than 20 years the HSF’s Institute for International Contact and Cooperation has been involved in international development projects. Today, the foundation administers these projects in more than 70 countries on every continent of the world. In the Republic of Korea the foundation has been active since 1987. Currently its focus is on reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula and preparation of the country for possible reunification. For more than six years the HSF has also been active in North Korea where it carries out projects in the field of trade, modern agriculture and forestry.

Among the HSF’s partners are official institutions (Korean Institute for National Reunification, Korean Research Institute for Human Settlement), academic institutions (Institute for Peace and Unification Studies of Seoul National University and the Graduate School of Northeast Asian Studies of Dong-A University, Busan) as well as NGOs (Institute for Peace Affairs, the Center for Korean Women and Politics or PSCORE). The HSF also partner with authorities in Gangwon Province and Goseong County where it carries out projects on sustainable development in the Korean border area.

The Oakwood Seoul Survivors will be working with the Hanns Seidel Foundation to ensure the safe and personal delivery of school materials to a school in Rason, North Korea. The current plan is to send two players to North Korea via China where they will use the money raised during Movember to purchase school materials. Then, with the help of the Hanns Seidel Foundation, our selected players will cross the border and deliver the goods in person to an elementary school in the north-eastern port city of Rason. The next available trip north is scheduled for March 2011.

The city of Rason sits on the far north-eastern extremity of the Korean Peninsula. Situated on the convergence of the Chinese and Russian borders and the Sea of Japan (East Sea), the city has been opened up to trade with neighbouring countries by the authorities in Pyongyang, specifically during the past decade. Despite this, the region was particularly hard hit by the famines of the 1990s. There are a number of schools in the region that could use our help. With the assistance of the Hanns Seidel Foundation, we will identify a specific school in particular need of stationery and materials to which we can donate the supplies bought with our fundraising money. We also hope to give rugby gear to the school and introduce the sport by running a small training camp for the children. Taking into account the volatile situation in the DPRK, the Survivors are well aware of the tenuous nature of this endeavour. If, for some circumstance outside our control, we are unable to deliver school materials to North Korea, the half of the money raised for the Rason school will be reinvested back into our primary charity, the Seondeok Girls Orphanage. Last year, we raised 4,000,000 Won for the orphanage. The money was used to fund outings for the girls, such as sports days, movie screenings and our upcoming Xmas Extravaganza. Your donations have allowed us to bring a smile to the faces of young girls that find themselves in a particularly harsh situation in an often indifferent society.
