Mr. Kim Kim

Immigrant communities experience some degree of isolation from the mainstream while being rich in their potential to serve, contribute, and inspire/get inspired. We believe COVID-19 forced isolation and working at home has further exacerbated the problem of loneliness and isolation, duly noted by the surgeon general. People have given up on reaching out and depriving themselves of the opportunities to grow in spirituality and wisdom.

Mr. Kim Kim is a Rotarian, inspirational speaker, philanthropist, teacher of philosophy, and author, with the unique experience of being an immigrant from Korea himself. We have asked Mr. Kim Kim to share his inspiring life and observations about people who discover the joy of greater contributions to humanity and personal growth.
