Welcome to ASIA!
ASIA was founded to meet the need to bring cultural resources, and other support services to international adoptees and their adoptive families. ASIA received 501(c)(3) tax exempt status from the IRS in early January this year.
Our missions are to: 1) assist internationally adopted persons to develop their identities through enriching education programs relative to their country of birth, 2) grow leaders among internationally adopted individuals so that they may contribute to society, and 3) gather and distribute information and resources to promote healthy adoptive families with children who joined their families from countries other than the USA.
ASIA opened its first Korean Culture School in January 2010 and we were awarded an educational grant from the Embassy of the Republic of Korea. In addition to the Embassy of Korea's support, we wish to recognize our students and their families. Due to your enthusiasm and support, ASIA is growing.
ASIA also had its first sleep over Korean Culture Camp for adoptive families and teens in July 2010. We are currently seeking volunteers who can help us plan for the 2011 Camp Rice. We are a 501(c) (3) orgnization. All of our programs are funded by individual and public donations. To determine if your financial contributions would be tax-deductible, please contact Grace Song at info@asia.allservices.org.
