M.A.C.K Then and Now

History

M.A.C.K. formally, Mission for Amerasian Children of Korea, was formed on September 1995 in Chicago Illinois. It was the very first non-denominational missionary work relying totally on volunteers from all walks of life; it has not boundaries, just as love knows no limits.

M.A.C.K. was conceived by a group of laywomen whose undying motherly care and interests dictated a mission for a better understanding of children born to dual cultural parentage and the cultural barrier affecting them. Moreover, to harbor and to heightened compassion and understanding by all towards the plight of Amerasians.

The vision of M.A.C.K. has grown and as such has expanded its mission. In addition it has changed the meaning of its acronym in order to reflect the new direction of the foundation.
