Nest Korea is a non-profit organization that was established in 2007. Our main goal is to help overseas adoptees adjust to living in Korea. The staff at Nest Korea views each adoptee as a part of our family. We have our doors open to all Korean Adoptees, and we are always here to help and support them. Nest Korea provides many services including trips all around Korea, social incubating-scholarships, Korean language courses, Let’s Go to Korea, and overseas aid. Our hope is to make the world a little brighter and more beautiful through our small gestures. Nest has been able to provide safe, fun, educational, and enlightening activities for Korean adoptees. We hope that we can continue our work in the future, as well as continuously seeing our little family, while meeting new adoptees!
Trips Around Korea
July 11-12, 2020// Gunsan Trip
The first trip of 2020 was our historical trip to Gunsan! This was the first time the new staff at Nest met some of the adoptees! We explored a lot of historical sites and enjoyed our time together!
September 18-19, 2020//Seosan Historical Trip
We had the opportunity to visit Seosan, which is a small city outside of Seoul. During this trip we visited many historical places such as Haemieupseong Fortress, Royal Tombs of Baekje, Jeongnimsa Temple, Busosanseong Fortress, and Goransa Temple. We ate a lot of delicious food while learning about history.
October 17-18, 2020//Gangwondo Food Trip
During this trip we were able visit the province Gangwondo, and eat food that is special to the area such as charcoal dalkgalbi, Korean beef sashimi, makguksu, and dried pollack. We were lucky to visit Nami Island, Woljeongsa Temple and the fir tree forest at Odaesan mountain when the fall leaves were changing colors.
November 21, 2020//Healing Forest Trip
At the end of November, we will be escaping the busy city life to find some peace and breath in fresh air at the Hwadam Botanic Garden. During this trip we will get to ride in a monorail, while admiring the leaves change colors.
Social Incubating Scholarships
Scholarship
We are currently providing scholarships to individuals that wanted to obtain a certificate to gain more experience in their future job fields. Nest provided scholarships for game development, coding, TEFL, barista, yoga and other courses. It is our hope that adoptees can get their dream jobs.
November 7, 2020//Beach Volunteer Trip
This was our chance to give back to Korea by cleaning up the beaches. During the summertime there was a big typhoon that hit Korea. It left a lot of debris on the east coast beaches. So, we took this opportunity to clean up the beaches so that we, as well as other can enjoy the beaches next summer!
Korean Language Class
Thanks to our Korean volunteers we are able to provide 1 on 1 Korean classes for adoptees. This is a chance for adoptees to learn Korean so that they can live an easier and more comfortable life here. We provide the classes at a low cost, once or twice a week. Many adoptees have said this has helped them become more confident when speaking Korean, as well as making their lives a little bit easier.
Let’s Go to Korea!
This is a one-of-a-kind program that we provide to overseas adoptees. The first time that you visit Korea can be overwhelming, stressful, and emotional. But we are here to make it a little bit easier! This is a trip to explore Korea with fellow adoptees. It’s for individuals whom have never visited Korea before. We set up adoptees with a bunch of fun and educational activities, as well a chance to eat all different types of Korean food!
Overseas Aid
Nest Korea provides overseas aid to Third World countries like Peru, Indonesia, Mongolia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Senegal, the Philippines, Marshall Islands, etc. We focus on medical services, educational support and ways to help make the community live more comfortably. We have helped to build a dental clinic. Nest has also provided scholarship support and dressmaking education.
