A Beacon of Serving Children

CEO, Kim Brown is inspired by the dedicated staff at Holt-Korea

by Kim Brown, CEO Holt International

Pediatrician Dr. Cho Byung-kuk performs a routine check-up on a child at Holt-Korea Seoul, South Korea–I am humbled and inspired just being around the staff at Holt Children’s Services of Korea.  Seeing the daily activity in this building (it’s really much more than an office), I am reminded of the great dedication and compassion for serving children represented by those who have walked these halls over the decades.  These servants have helped find homes for so many homeless children, and their commitment has been consistent for over 50 years.

Today was just a normal day at the Holt-Korea office, and I got to witness some of the many ways this staff touches the lives of people–from seeing children brought in by foster mothers for health checkups to talking with expectant mothers.  These are only two examples, but they illustrate the scope of work that has gone on since Harry and Bertha Holt initiated this organization.

Social and economic pressures continue to challenge the resolve of all who advocate for homeless children globally.  It is reassuring to know that here, where our work all began, Holt-Korea continues to be a beacon for the entire world.
