The Seoul International Women's Association (SIWA) will hold its annual bazaar at the Seoul Museum of History on Nov. 13.
Beginning at 9 a.m. and lasting till 3 p.m., the fundraising event benefits more than 30 Korean charities.
The bazaar features international goods, handicrafts, foods, cultural performances, raffles and door prizes.
SIWA is Seoul's premier international women's organization, consisting of women from over 40 countries, including about 25 percent from Korea. For more than 50 years, SIWA has been a place where women from around the world could meet, find friends, learn about each other's culture, and improve the lives of those less fortunate in Korea.
The organization offers an extensive number of tours to various cultural, artistic and recreational experiences. Each month, it offers between six to 10 tours in and around Seoul for members and friends to enjoy. These tours are updated frequently on the website.
"What started off around a kitchen table after the Korean War ended is now the largest international women's organization in Korea, and plays a vital part in the life of the expatriate community."
