My WeKO Journey

Being part of the 6th Generation of WeKO Global Creators is one of the amazing things that happened to me this year!

As an introduction, WeKO stands for We Are KOICA - it's a group of supporters who create content promoting KOICA or the Korea International Cooperation Agency. For the past months, we have been working on different contents based on the assigned topic, and at the same time, learning a lot about Official Development Assistance as we go along.

I also got to visit the KOICA office in the Philippines and meet other past and present WeKO. Hearing from their experiences inspired me to do well as a global creator.

Thank you so much to KOICA for selecting me as part of WeKO 6th Generation! It's really a great experience.

[6th WeKO] Self-Introduction Mission

Hello! My name is Jade, and I am selected as one of the Global Supporters for the 6th Generation of WeKO. I'm a designer who is passionate about using design to create positive impact in this world. My previous experience revolves in the field of technology, youth empowerment, social impact, and environmental conservation.

I am honestly very surprised to learn that I am chosen from many candidates to be part of this year's WeKO supporters. Despite my limited knowledge of KOICA, I am thankful to embark on a new journey in learning more about Official Development Assistance (ODA) and KOICA's impact to my home country, the Philippines. 

As a Global Creator, I look forward to using my design skills in creating informative content that introduces KOICA and ODA and raises awareness for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  Moreover, I'm excited to be part of this global community working together to support ODA initiatives!

What is WeKO? WeKO, short for "We are KOICA", is a group of global citizens who work on global campaigns promoting KOICA and ODA. In the succeeding posts, I will introduce more about WeKO and KOICA so stay tuned!
