3) Activities
COVID-19 struck Korea. The 5,677 confirmed patients out of 6,088 total patients were in Daegu and the North Gyeongsang
district, as of 06 Mar. This situation made this local economy stop totally, so that many children in Daegu children’s center could
be only given a meal in a day. This also caused a huge economic loss to the people who ran the restaurants. A-PAD Korea
improved the local economy by asking local restaurants to make meal boxes, through self-fundraising, and progressed the
immediate support project to provide warm meals to the children who were unable to eat properly in local chinldren’s center.
It was not so easy to handle all this situations only through the self-fundraising. However, many people got to know about the
difficulties that the people in Daegu area should get through, by using the platform 'GlobalGiving’, so that we could meet
our target amount within a week. With this, A-PAD Korea could ask local restaurants to make meal boxes to improve the local
economy and provide these meal boxes to Daegu Children’s center quickly. Without considering the amount of the money, We
could help the people who had not given the proper support in Daegu area. For COVID-19, ‘GlobalGiving’, Please support
for Daegu! We want to appreciatiate to GlobalGiving donaters. Because of your donation and support, we could help children’s
center and the local restaurants. Thank you very much :)
