Gwangan International Community Fair

03/12/2024

Hi everyone!

As many of you know, Gorilla Gwangan is no longer there. But! We are organizing a (smaller scale but still super fun) bazaar at a brand new coffee shop near Busan International Finance Center. Come visit us there on December 15!

The Second Gwangan International Community Fair Xmas Special was a HUGE success. Thank to the generosity of our vendors and visitors alike, today we smashed all previous records and raised a whopping 1.5 million won for our charities! We are so thankful to all who contributed, and hope you had a great time today (we know we did!). Special thanks to Gorilla Brewing Co. (you guys rock), Nate Mandigo of WeHope (the best Santa ever), our lovely volunteer Erin Thomas, our gifted singers Nathan Jacobson and Conor Doran, the Raffle Dazzlers (Sal, Jay and Tak), our photographer today Lee Kelly, and Devin Nowroski who makes the best carrot cake and donated just under 1 million won to charity this year alone. We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you next year!

Please notice there will be some traffic disruptions in the Gwangan area on the 22nd. Plan accordingly! And if you join the walk, what better place to relax afterwards than Gorilla Brewing? ;)

Busan City said it will open the upper deck of Gwangan Bridge again to seek ways to use it as a local tourism resource.

One week to our next Fair!
In an effort to reduce the use of plastic, we encourage all our friends to bring reusable bags for your purchases. We will have some available too for a small contribution. If you have extra bags you'd like to donate, feel free to bring them on Sunday so we can upcycle them!

Su***de is a real issue in Korea, especially among teens. Come to GICF and help us support the Busan Lifeline, a charity organization focusing on su***de prevention. And if you're struggling -- ASK FOR HELP. There's truly no shame in that.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.
Six men take their own lives in Australia every day and men are three times more likely to die by su***de than women.

For every famous face who loses their life to su***de, there are thousands, not so famous who take their own lives. These people aren’t always mentioned in the press but if they were it would be impossible to ignore the scale of this issue.

We need to talk more, connect more, work that emotional muscle and sit in those uncomfortable conversations, we need to be able to sit with our mates, be present and listen, whether they're at the highest of highs or the lowest of lows.

We can all help prevent su***de. Reach out to a mate, work on that connection, check-in regularly - so if they are ever up against it they know you’re there for them.

If you feel like you need immediate help call Lifeline 13 11 14 or Mensline 1300 78 99 78⁠ 24/7

Tomorrow Man articulated this so beautifully, this post is shared from theirs.
