ANNANDALE, VIRGINIA, USA, December 17, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fairfax area lawyer Minji Kim was one of the honorees at the 49th annual fundraising dinner hosted by the Korean Community Center of Greater Washington (KCSC, Chairman Jina Kim). More than 300 guests were in attendance. The event was held at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner Hotel, and the theme was “Building a Safe and Integrated Community (BUIDING SAFE AND COMMUNITY).” This is the first time since COVID-19 that the event was again held in-person.
The Keynote speaker was Kyung-Bok Yoon, the President of the Korean-American Community Foundation of New York, who shared some of his experiences growing up amidst prejudices against people of color.
Chairman Yoon noted that his “childhood experiences enabled me to support community organizations and effectively provide resources according to the needs of the organizations… It will be easier if we all work together to help those who are left behind.” He concluded that “We must join forces for the greater good of our next generation.”
At the subsequent awards ceremony, Fairfax County Health Department Director Addo- Ayensu received the Public Service Award, and attorneys Minji Kim and Sarah Tae received the Community Service Award.
Minji Kim has been doing pro bono work at the Korean Service Center of Greater Washington (KCSC) since 2019, providing legal clinics (free consultations) in family law, divorce, landlord-tenant, civil, criminal (misdemeanor) and other matters that affect the lives of Asian American individuals and families. Moreover, since the beginning of her legal career, Ms. Kim has participated in volunteer efforts to support the community. Already during law school, she also served as a Management Board member at the International Center for Law and Religion Studies at Brigham Young University. In her first position after graduating from law school, Ms. Kim worked at the Asian Pacific American Legal Resource Center (APALRC) in Washington, D.C., where she provided legal services to low-income individuals and families.
Commented Minji Kim, “While I am grateful for the recognition of my work, I am just a small contributor to the welfare of the entire community. If we all just cooperate, we will create a better future for ourselves and our children, regardless of race, skin color, and national origin. In the end, we are all human beings who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. And remember that no matter what race you are and where you come from, our DNA is 99.9 percent identical.”
