J.W.&#8217;s house mother sent us the pictures you see, along with the receipt for the purchase. This is a process we follow for all of our programs in Korea so that we can ensure accountability for how donations are used.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>It looks like J.W. was pleased with his new clothes. J.W.&#8217;s house mother says that he is a good student, getting top marks at school. She hopes that he can get used to life at Samsungwon and continue his academic success. She also sincerely thanks KKOOM supporters for providing the funding to help J.W.&#8217;s adjustment a little easier.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e573a9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3e573a9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36f4334 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"36f4334\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through the Welcome Boost Program, which we launched earlier this year, KKOOM provided funding to buy new clothes for a 10-year-old boy at a children&#8217;s home in Korea.
