Meet the Ladies 2011 Mission

Deborah Finkel
Hi I am Deb mother of four beautiful children, three boys and one girl this is my fourth Qld Mothers Mission to Korea, I fell in love with Korea in 1998 when I travelled to Korea with my husband to adopt our son Corey who is now almost 14. in 2001 we were blessed with twin boys Bailey & Lachlan almost 10, in 2003 we adopted Haylee now 8 from Korea.
I have visited Korea almost every year, with this being my twelfth trip to this amazing country, and a chance to catch up with the wonderful Korean people who we have made friends with. So happy to be back helping ESWS and the fantastic work they are doing for young birth mothers and the children they care for. The last 13 years of raising funds and collecting items for ESWS has been so rewarding. This years mission is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Kim Duk Whang the founder of ESWS who passed away in May this year.

Kelly Cameron-Tull
Kelly’s interest in Korea began when she studied Korean Language at Griffith University back in 1994. She quickly became interested in all facets of Korean language, culture and food, and made friends with several Koreans who she is still friends with today. She studied at Korea University for one year on scholarship, and as soon as she finished university, she flew back to Korea to start work in a merchant bank. Due to the Asian financial crisis, her work stay in Korea was short-lived, but her passion for the Korean people, and her friends has never left her.  Since then, Kelly has visited the ESWS with Deb and Steve Finkel and has attended previous mothers missions, and she enjoys participating in assisting to raise funds for Dr Kim’s orphanage.  Having recently become a mother to a newborn, who was born on the day Dr Kim passed away, she is more motivated than ever to raise money for this wonderful cause. {This Kelly's third Mothers Mission}

Leeza Noyes

For the past 2 years I have been working two casual jobs, one in the liquor industry as a retail assistant and one in a tattoo supply shop. I first heard about the Mother’s Mission through a mutual friend, Lyn Clayton and I have had my grandmother knitting jumpers and beanies for the orphanage for about 18 months now. I thought it would be an awesome experience and have decided for my first overseas trip I would join Deborah and the ladies in Korea. I am really looking forward to this trip.[ This Leeza first Mothers Mission }
