Korean Orphans Need Furniture!

This summer, Samsungwon, the orphanage in Gumi, South Korea, will complete a renovation of its original building to add modern fire sprinklers and other fire saftey equiment. While doing so, Samsungwon would also like to update the furniture in the three girls' houses located in the original building.

The girls need new beds, desks, bookshelves, and clothing organizers. Some of the existing furniture is falling apart, and storage for the girls' individual belongings is insufficient. Your donations to this project will help fund these needs and create a better, brighter space for the girls in the original building.

Thank you for your generous support!

In late November 2012, 40 children at Samsungwon were able to move into their new housing accomodations thanks to donors like you. Donations paid for new beds, dressers, and desks. Additional money raised through this GlobalGiving project will go to pay for things like additional bedding, to make their homes more comfortable, and air conditioning units, which will be needed in the summer when it gets hot and humid.

The children moved their personal belongings from their old housing to their new accomodations and also were responsible for much of the cleaning and move-in process. After the move, they reflected that it was a lot of work, but they were happy to be settled in to their new homes, which are much larger and nicer than their old houses.

They are grateful for your generous support!
