The SIWA & Diplomatic Community Bazaar brings together countries from all over world, in the name of fundraising for Korean charities!
Back by popular demand, the 55th Annual SIWA & Diplomatic Community Bazaar (the ¡°Bazaar¡±), hosted by Seoul International Women¡¯s Association (SIWA), will be taking place on Monday, November 13 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Lotte Hotel Seoul, a 5-star luxury hotel conveniently located in the heart of Seoul¡¯s central business district. Admission to the event is 5,000 KRW, to support local charities.The Bazaar is one of the largest international fundraising events in Seoul. In 2016, more than 30 embassies and several women's clubs, local businesses, sponsors, welfare organizations and SIWA volunteers joined hands to offer visitors a truly international experience. Countries across the globe were represented at last year¡¯s Bazaar through their respective ethnic cuisines, unique products, ranging from Nordic holiday decorations to deeply discounted Chilean wines, and various cultural artifacts. The Bazaar will also feature entertaining performances throughout the day, such as the music of Mia Jun, an accomplished violinist who performs everything from classical to jazz. As an added bonus, visitors have the chance to win fantastic Raffle prizes; one raffle ticket is included in the price of entry.The Bazaar, themed ¡®Share Culture, Share Love, Share Life¡¯, is sure to be a memorable one. ¡°The SIWA and Diplomatic Community Bazaar is absolutely the best event to take part in to share diverse cultural experiences and discover wonderful international products, and also a great opportunity to participate in helping charities,¡± said Special Events Chair, Jen Chae.The event is expected to attract thousands of visitors, including residents of Korea, both Korean nationals and expats, as well as tourists. The event¡¯s convenient timing and the venue¡¯s central location are expected to draw residents and working professionals from all over Seoul. For foreign tourists visiting Seoul during late autumn, the Bazaar will be a perfect stop to experience the culture of Korea as well as that of dozens of countries.All proceeds generated by SIWA from the event will be donated to over 20 Korean charities, enabling them to serve the Korean community better, be it orphan children, homeless or disabled individuals or senior citizens. "The annual bazaar brings SIWA, the diplomatic community and other expat organizations in collaboration to raise money to help the many disenfranchised members in our host country," said Anne Choe, SIWA President.Hosted since the 1960s, the SIWA Bazaar has been a cornerstone of Seoul¡¯s rich charitable history and has raised over two billion Won (KRW 2 billion) over the years. Each year, several dozen volunteers and sponsors contribute to making this event a success and strive to continue raising funds for Korean charities.For more information, please visit www.siwakorea.com/siwabazaar/. check out the Events page on www.facebook.com/SIWAkorea or contact Ellie Lee, Public Relations Chair.

About Seoul International Women¡¯s Association:Seoul International Women¡¯s Association (SIWA) is the largest and longest-running international women¡¯s organization in Korea! Since 1962, SIWA has been a place where women from around the world could meet, forge friendships, learn about Korea and other cultures, contribute their talents and ideas, and help improve the lives of those in need. As many ideas so often are, SIWA was formed around a kitchen table by individuals who were looking to connect to their community and make a difference as they did. That spirit is as vibrant today as it was more than five decades ago.With over 300 women from over 40 nations, including Korea, our members know that there is always something exciting happening at SIWA and a way for them to get involved – whether it is by connecting with fellow members through our weekly or monthly tours, interest group activities, Coffee Mornings, and enrichment classes, or by contributing their skills – and building new ones – to help run the organization and plan fundraising events.For more information, please visit www.siwakorea.com, Like our page www.facebook.com/SIWAkorea on Facebook or follow @SIWAkorea on Twitter.
