Anna Kim, the author of a book "Botanko" went through childhood being in the Japanese community in the city near Seoul. Going through the history upturns and downturns, Japanese people were not always on her side, but after years past, she has devoted countless hours here in Los Angeles as a volunteer to help young people in trouble especially with young people from Japan providing "Inochi No Denwa" or life-line calls.
She has just retired and this will be her first visit to our community after her retirement.
