Actor Shin Ye-eun held a special meeting with Myanmar refugee children in the Mae Sot region of Thailand.

Hope Friends Kia Relief (Chairman Choi Chang-nam), Korea’s first international humanitarian development NGO, announced on the 22nd that its ambassador Shin Ye-eun visited the Mae Sot area from the 11th to the 16th, where she met with Myanmar refugee children, exchanged experiences, and participated in various sharing programs.

This activity marked Shin Ye-eun’s first overseas field visit alongside Kia Relief, organized to directly observe and interact with the education and living environments of refugees and children in need residing in Mae Sot.

Mae Sot is a region bordering Myanmar, where many refugees and migrants from Myanmar have crossed over to escape long-standing conflict and political instability. Many families face vulnerable conditions due to poor living circumstances and economic hardships.

During her visit, Shin Ye-eun visited several refugee schools and churches, participated in lunch distribution and child-focused interaction activities, and shared meaningful moments with local residents.

Notably, she presented a play she personally prepared for the children and conducted various experiential programs such as origami folding, bracelet making, and recreational games, giving them joyful memories while engaging in close communication.

Shin Ye-eun has consistently supported overseas children since sponsoring a child in Vietnam in 2019, including those in Ecuador, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Through this activity, she will also newly sponsor a Myanmar refugee child.

Kia Relief plans to launch an overseas child sponsorship fundraising campaign together with Shin Ye-eun to support refugee children in the Mae Sot region.

Shin Ye-eun said, “Seeing the children’s daily lives and studies firsthand allowed me to better understand what is truly needed on the ground. Although our time was short, the moments of laughing and talking with them will remain vividly in my memory. Moving forward, I will continue to pay attention and work together so that children can learn safely and pursue their dreams.”

Choi Chang-nam, Chairman of Hope Friends Kia Relief, stated, “Myanmar refugee children in Mae Sot, Thailand, require sustained support in many areas of daily life, including education and care. We hope this meeting serves as encouragement for the children and inspires more people to pay attention to the realities and needs of the Mae Sot region. Going forward, Kia Relief will continue its sharing efforts for the healthy growth and learning of children alongside ambassador Shin Ye-eun.”
