G Market - Copion Korean Volunteers at Riverkids

On June 29-30, a group of volunteers from G Market- Copion, Korea came to Riverkids and conducted some exciting and enjoyable activities with the children. They also performed some Korean traditional dance for the kids, Riverkids staff and people in the surrounding community to enjoy as well.

In addition, the volunteers donated 600 US dollars for 120 sets of school uniforms, stationary and several boxes of clothes to Riverkids. With this donation, Riverkids will be able to keep our program moving forward and we come one step closer to achieving Riverkids mission to prevent the sale of children.

Due to poverty, domestic violence, neglect, child labor, drug abuse and sexual abuse, the children lose the opportunity for school and lack the care and warmth usually provided by families. The charitable work of the volunteers from Korea at Riverkids provided the opportunity to give enjoyment, compassion and love to the children, and encourages them enormously to build self-confidence for a better education and for better lives in the future.

On behalf of Riverkids Foundation, I am very grateful to all volunteers and especially the G Market- Copion 09th Volunteers who recently spent time and gave such generous donations to Riverkids.
