Rotary District 3650 in Seoul Creates Joyful Memories for Children of Hyeshim-Won Youth Home


Seeking to engage more of its Rotary members in volunteering, the women’s committee of District 3650 in Seoul, South Korea, paired them with children from the Hyeshim-Won youth home for monthly sightseeing outings. In January, Rotarians treated 30 young people from the home to a trip to the Lotte World amusement park. They took spins on the merry-go-round, bumper cars, pirate ship ride, and more. The district and Rotary members donated about $2,800 for discounted tickets and food, while District Governor-elect Young Suk Lee, of the Rotary Club of Seoul Hangang, covered the cost of busing. District Governor Bong Rak Sohn and the Rotary Club of Seoul KANS organized the event. “We wanted to show the children that there are many good people in the world,” says Kwi-Young Song, of the Rotary Club of Hanseong, chair of the district women’s committee.
