Written by: WFWP Korea

On February 6, WFWP Korea held a ceremony to deliver the 5th HJ Sharing Hope Fund at the HJ Association Kona Café on the first floor of its Cheongpa-dong office in South Korea. The "HJ Sharing Hope Fund" is a relief sharing project of WFWP Korea that has been conducted as part of the "Hope Ondol Warm Winter" fundraiser established in 2021 with the aim of strengthening the local community in cooperation with the Cheongpa-dong Community Center. This year, with the participation of Jeong-ha Noh, the head of Cheongpa-dong Community Center, WFWP Korea donated KRW 10,000,000 in scholarships to support 20 middle school students from families with basic needs living in Cheongpa-dong.

International president, Dr. Julia Moon said, "It has been more than 20 years since the Women's Federation for World Peace settled in Cheongpa-dong, and while we have carried out various activities for families in need both in Korea and abroad, we had less chance of paying attention to Cheongpa-dong. I hope that this donation will help the hopeful youth of Cheongpa-dong to grow into great people without giving in to the difficult environment." Jeong-ha Noh responded, "We are truly grateful for the participation of the Women's Federation for World Peace, and we will discover and promote various welfare projects at the same level so that the youth can grow well."

On April 10, WFWP Korea received a commendation plaque from the Cheongpa-dong Residents' Center in gratitude for the donation given in February. The commendation plaque was awarded to organizations that actively participated in the "2023 Hope Ondol Warm Winter Campaign" held by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Social Welfare Foundation from November 2022 to February 2023 as a project to help neighbors during the winter season and contributed significantly to the spread of sharing culture and the development of local welfare.

During the ceremony, Jeong-ha Noh, the head of Dong, said, "Women's Federation for World Peace has been steadily contributing to the development of the Cheongpa-dong area every year, and we are grateful for your active donations." He presented the plaque and a bouquet of flowers to President Young-sun Choi, WFWP Korea.    

                                                                                                                                                        
WFWP Korea will continue its social contribution activities for the local community, which has gathered new hope and joy through the participation and donations of many people.
