This is equally true for its work in Germany as it is for its international commitments. The HSF is an independent German think tank located in the Bavarian capital, Munich. Its main tasks are political education and research, consulting in a variety of policy fields, international cooperation and development and help for national and international students. For more than 20 years the HSF’s Institute for International Contact and Cooperation has been involved in international development projects. Today, the foundation administers these projects in more than 70 countries on every continent of the world. In the Republic of Korea the foundation has been active since 1987. Currently its focus is on reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula and preparation of the country for possible reunification. For more than six years the HSF has also been active in North Korea where it carries out projects in the field of trade, modern agriculture and forestry. Among the HSF’s partners are official institutions (Korean Institute for National Reunification, Korean Research Institute for Human Settlement), academic institutions (Institute for Peace and Unification Studies of Seoul National University and the Graduate School of Northeast Asian Studies of Dong- A University, Busan) as well as NGOs (Institute for Peace Affairs, the Center for Korean Women and Politics or PSCORE). The HSF also partner with authorities in Gangwon Province and Goseong County where it carries out projects on sustainable development in the Korean border area. The Oakwood Seoul Survivors will be working with the Hanns Seidel Foundation to ensure the safe and personal delivery of school materials to a school in Rason, North Korea. The current plan is to send two players to North Korea via China where they will use the money raised during Movember to purchase school materials. Then, with the help of the Hanns Seidel Foundation, our selected players will cross the border and deliver the goods in person to an elementary school in the north-eastern port city of Rason. The next available trip north is scheduled for March 2011. Members of the HSF deliver school materials in the city of Rason. Children in the city of Rason, North Korea.
