HYEOK KANG

In 2008, when he was seven years old,
he had his first encounter with the YANA Ministry.
Since then, Hyeok has taken part in
the Flying Happiness Program twice and
in all the Summer Mission Programs.
Hyeok came to the United States
as a YSAP student in 2018 and graduated
from Eastern Christian School in June 2021.
Hyeok is currently a freshman at
University of New York, Stony Brook.

‘Hyeok, how about studying in the States?’
Although I was somewhat frightened by the suggestion made
by the director of Dongmyung Childrens’ Home,
I felt an immediate urge to seize the opportunity.
I could not speak English nor did I accel in academics.
Despite of my shortcomings, members of the
YANA family encouraged, trusted and supported me.
Thanks to their unconditional love, I flew to America,
graduated high school and started attending a university.
I suffered numerous sports-related injuries while growing up,
and there was always someone to help and treat me.
I felt a lot of warmth through all the support I received,
and was grateful that I was not alone in this world.
My dream is to help and treat those that are wounded.
I will study hard so I can end up sharing
the love and support I received with those around me.
- Hyeok Kang
Please support Hyeok so that he can fly high into his dreams.

The individual fundraising goal for the YANA Study Abroad Program is based on the estimated cost of attendance calculated by their attending college. This includes tuition & fees, books & supplies, room & board, health insurance, transportation, and personal expenses. Please understand that as required by IRS regulations, any tax-deductible donation is made to the charitable organization (YANA Ministry Inc.) and not the individual (student) — otherwise it is a non-deductible gift and should be given directly to the student. For students qualified for and participating in our YANA Study Abroad Program, the IRS allows donors to state a preference of how their contribution is used and request that the gift support a particular student — and it allows the charitable organization (YANA Ministry Inc.) to fully consider that request as long as the donor understands and acknowledges for charitably given tax-deductible gifts that the ultimate authority regarding the disposition of your donation is at the discretion of YANA Ministry Inc. By using this online form, or other method described above, you are acknowledging and agree to those IRS guidelines.
