I Don't Ask For Money Often, Soooooo.....

So since the fall, I have been volunteering at this fantastic orphanage in Gumi. Being adopted I feel that it's only natural to give back a little. A past ETA from several years ago really built a strong relationship between this orphanage and the ETA program. She also started an organization called KKOOM, which stands for Korean Kids & Orphanage Outreach Program (and in Korean the acronym means "dream").

And currently KKOOM is being offered a trial position on the Global Giving website, which highlights smaller charitable organizations. However, they must raise a total of $4,000 before April 26 in order to keep the spot. The money would be going specifically towards Korean orphans' English education. Remaining on Global Giving's website would greatly help publicize KKOOM's mission, and so far they have done a lot for the orphanage that I work at every week.

I've already donated, so if there are any friends out there who are willing to donate a minimum of $10, it would be greatly appreciated. It's super easy, you just have to follow this link. Thanks!!!!
