KAHI Gathering and Film Festival
Approximately 100 people participated in KAHI's Gathering and Film Festival October 10 - 13. Adoptees from across the globe (Australia, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, United States) came together and experienced one of the best aspects of being an adoptee - our international community!
Thank you to those KAHI volunteers, participants and registrants who contributed to the Gathering's success: Kristina Alger, Corey Ark, Jenny Barnett, Brian Coyle, Lianne Hansen, John Henry, Joelle Lee, Jennifer Lloyd, Tom Morelli, Leinell Newman, Ben Reineking, Pasha Roberts, Jennifer Spindler, Sabina Wilford and Bok-dong Yoon. Special thanks to our AMAZING board who devoted more than one year to planning and executing the Gathering: Charlie Ritts, Peter Savasta, Amanda Lowrey, Katie Putes and Ji In Lugtu.
Highlights from the Asian Adult Adoptee Gathering and Film Festival include:
- meeting and spending time with other Korean adoptees
- eating, drinking and noraebang (karaoke)
- taking over restaurants with our massive groups of people
Please join or visit the Gathering's Facebook page and "friend" other participants to view pictures and videos from the Gathering!
