RI President Dong Kurn Lee has seen firsthand how war affects a country, and how international aid can rebuild it. The rags-to-riches story of postwar Korea is what motivates D.K. to excel in Rotary and in business. But hard work isn't all that D.K. is about. He has a warm family, a huge network of friends in high places, and a soft spot for the problems of humanity. Photo by Alyce Henson/Rotary Images.
