Kim Eun-sook, a writer from Gangneung, donates 20 million won in bottled water to drought damage. I hope it rains as soon as possible.



Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Lim Chae-cheong) announced on the 8th that drama writer Kim Eun-sook and representative of Hwadam Ent. Yoon Ha-rim each donated bottled water worth 20 million won to Gangneung City, which is suffering from severe drought.

The donation will be used to overcome the drought in Gangneung, which has difficulty securing water for living due to prolonged drought.

Kim Eun-sook, a writer from Gangneung, decided to donate a small amount after hearing that the drought caused inconveniences and difficulties for local residents"There is still no news of rain in Gangneung, so I am worried that the drought will be prolonged. I hope it will rain as soon as possible and the situation will get better."

The two are members of the Hope Bridge Big Donors Association 'Hope Bridge Honors Club', and have practiced sharing whenever national disasters such as floods, wildfires, and earthquakes occur, starting with the donation of the Ferry Sewol disaster in 2014.

In addition, gifts are delivered to child care facilities in disaster-affected areas on special days such as children's day and Christmas, as well as birthdays and anniversaries, and regular care has been continued.

Kim Hee-yoon, head of the fundraising project team at the Korea Disaster Relief Association, said "Thank you to the two people for practicing meaningful sharing in a severe drought situation."The association will actively use this donation to support emergency water supply for neighbors suffering from water supply."




The Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association is a disaster relief fundraising organization established in 1961 by national media and social organizations, and is the only legal relief organization in Korea that can deliver natural disaster relief funds. In the event of a disaster, the association has continued various activities such as emergency relief, fundraising and distribution, recovery of local communities, and support for the vulnerable.
