KMPL Kids Program Fundraiser

KMPL (July 6, 2010) -  The KMPL has been working hard to organize a project to work with underprivileged children over the last year. Thanks to wonderful partnerships with Camp Gardens and Suwon Orphanage, our long anticipated KMPL Kids Program is finally underway. On July 17, we’ll be hosting a fundraiser to help finance this important program.

The primary focus of the KMPL Kids Program is to provide underprivileged children in Korea with opportunities to learn about nature and wilderness. Via the program, participating kids will learn about nature and wilderness by visiting natural places. The program will organize hiking trips, camping trips, visits to green spaces, natural history museums, conservation sanctuaries, and so on. There will be plenty of fun activities that will engage the children while they gain an understanding of species, biodiversity, conservation, and how they are a part of nature.

The fundraiser will be held on Saturday, July 17 at Intos Bar in LaFesta, Ilsan. A 10,000 won entry will cover donations and a chance to win the raffle, a hiking gift pack worth 100,000 won. Open donations above 10,000 won are welcomed and appreciated. There will be a dart tournament, a foosball tournament, a trivia contest, and prizes (in the form of beer) for the winner of each. There will also be an auction of a mountain landscape photo by local photo artist, Martyn Thompson.

If you wish to participate in the dart or foosball tournaments, please by the 15th of July to register. If you have any questions about the Kids Program, the fundraiser, or directions to the venue, please feel free to e-mail us.

We hope you can join us on July 17th for some fun and to help provide the initial financial support we need to get our KMPL Kids Program off the ground.
