Korean Icon “Hanbiya”
Hanbiya is very famous in Korea as a world traveler and writer. She was graduated in English literature at Hongik University. She received a Master's degree in international PR studies from the University of Utah in the USA. Then, she worked in Burson-Marstella, the international PR Company, but she handed in her resignation to realize her childhood's dream which was to make a journey around the world. After that, she traveled almost every hinterland of the world for about seven years. She went to all over the world: Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Southeast Asia and so on. From her travel experience, she wrote some books like "That was Love", "A Daughter of the Wind" and "March out of the map".
Now, she has been working for World Vision, the international NGO, as a chief of an emergency relief squad. She said that she always tries to thanks to god everything. Even that is very small thing like ‘Thank you god that I can come here that I can help people’, ‘Thank you that you give me health’, ‘Thank you that I was born in Korea : there is plenty of clean water, good condition to live.’ Etc. I think because she always goes to abroad for giving help, she can realize lot of things. Positive thinking and mind are really good for us. She always writes in her book how many people are in trouble in Africa because they don’t have enough water even for drinking. She persuades people a small sum of money could save lives of millions and thousands of children in Africa. I respect her character and her way of thinking. I am always eager to have an energetic, positive and optimistic attitude of mind like her. She was given me a lot of lessons. I think she is real Korean Icon.
