Mystery volunteer with Koreas

Being a divided country into North and South Korea, South Korea sees more than a thousand refugees from North Korea each year. However, as a refugee, they have limited social networks and social support which may lead to potential psychological distress and negative impacts in the community. Seoul hub has tackled this issue by finding a way to boost the young refugees' sense of being integrated into the community and to build a basis of social networks by participating to volunteer activities together with dedicated shapers.
