Happy graduation.

Congratulations to the men and women who celebrated their graduation this week at Seoul's Mapo Art Center, having completed their grade school equivalencies in a program designed for uneducated and illiterate adults. A few pictures from ceremonies that I think were spread over a couple days.

Very touching. Thanks for bringing that to everyone's attention.

There are many sad stories behind why many of these older people growing up in the post-war period were unable to finish even elementary school. It's nice to see that there are people in government and in the private sector who funnel money and give of their time and energy to help such people in need.

Yeah, Definitely a cool story, especially from a country which normally doesn't even support continuing education for adults. In fact, this post made me very happy too.
