B2ST fans knit hats and jackets for children in Zambia

[katiewenchh.livejournal.com]

Fans of B2ST have banded together to personally knit wool hats and ‘jeogiris (traditional Korean jackets)’ for children in Zambia!

On January 9th, a representative of World Vision revealed that the members of a B2ST fanpage had donated 200 jeogoris as well as 245 hats. Back in 2009, leader Doojoon had visited Zambia and Mumbai with World Vision to volunteer and care for African children. Fans thought to continue his kind efforts by participating in the cause.

The project began in November, and together, the fans made over 400 jeogoris, 200 of which were donated to another infant’s home in Seoul. In the letter that accompanied their donation, the fans wrote, “We know that it’s good to donate with money, but we wanted to create a gift that had our warm hearts melted into them, which is how we came up with this project. We hope that more people will take an interest in volunteering and charity after this project.”

That's really sweet.

Mumbai, though? Pretty sure they were never in India. I'm thinking what they're looking for is Mombasa.

I love when fanclubs put all their extra energy towards charity rather then starting shit and arguing on the internet. (Well, I guess they can do both but...)

That was such a beautiful thing to do, I like the explanation the fans gave of why they did it too! Gifts that have some personal touch and effort contained in them make a really special impact of the receiver :o)
