Who is Rina? We find out on bUneke UnScripted!

Rina is a German-born environmental activist who moved to South Korea in 2012 to work in the ecology department of a Korean church. After studying the language for nine months, she lectured on environmental topics, as well as planned and facilitated environmental education programs in Christian communities throughout Korea. In 2015, she was sent to the rural Kyeongsang Province to oppose the construction of a huge dam and fight for a unique and precious river’s ecosystem. She fell in love with the place, at first sight, and with a young Korean who later became her husband.

bUneke's creative director discovered Rina on Instagram and asked our editor to contact her. A remote friendship was forged right then and we cannot imagine an issue without her amazing stories. Now that Rina is also recording her stories for our audio versions, we are always eager to hear her voice.

We are proof that we live in a small, small world and together we can be the change we want to see in this world.
