名古屋ソウルフードのスガキヤ、関東に再び進出 撤退から20年ぶり

For over 20 years, Asia Hope Tree Chairwoman Seo Jung-hee has been making a solemn vow that the international community owes a debt that must now be repaid. From a devastating tsunami in South Asia in 2004, to a devastating earthquake in Pakistan in 2005, a cyclone in Myanmar in 2008, a massive flood in the Philippines in 2012 and Hurricane Haiyan in Manila the following year, to an earthquake in Nepal in 2015, a quake in Indonesia in 2016, a dam collapse in Laos in 2018, and earthquakes in Turkey last year and Venezuela this year, Seo has taken the lead in international emergency relief efforts.

The Asia Hope Tree organization, of which she is the chairwoman, has also established "Guangzhou Clinics" in refugee camps in Myanmar's Karen people, in the wake of the 2018 disaster in Karen State, and in Indonesia's Aceh province. Seo Jung-hee's humanitarian efforts are ongoing, even in the face of ongoing danger. She recently discussed her reasons for getting involved in international relief efforts, the challenges she has faced, and potential solutions.
