Dongdaewon 2010 - A New Day!

Welcome to the Dongdaewon blog.  We are just about to launch into our 5 week intensive campaign to raise funds for Dongdaewon (our care centre that we support through Eugene Bell Foundation in North Korea).  This year our campaign runs from February 16th - March 19th.  We are aiming to raise funds for a 6 month resupply kit.  Each division has a goal of 3,875,000 won.  During the past few years, thanks to the hard work and incredible generosity of our community, we have been able to raise enough funds for a whole years resupply kit!  Now that truly is ... Unity in Action!

So ... what is this blog all about?  It's basically a one stop shop for all you could want to know about our care centre and the fundraising we do to give patients "a new day".  Bookmark us and visit regularly because there will be lots to see.  If you are curious about North Korea, check out Miss Carpenter's photos and impressions.  If you would like to see how we have made a difference at Dongdaewon Care centre click here.  Feel free to use the comments section to ask questions and share your thoughts.  

Why should you come back?  Well ... we will be providing regular updates throughout our fundraising campaign ... Ms Carpenter is going to open her journal and share things she noticed on her trip up North ... and there will be plenty of great pictures!  The best way to not miss any of the action, is to click the "become a follower" link at the top (you need a google account for this) or subscribe with the link to the left.

Do you have your t-shirt yet?  This year we have two fantastic shirts. designed by Hanna and Miyoung in Grade 12.  We would love to see as many as possible at the Hearts to Serve Assemblies on February 17th.  Download the form from Edline and get yours now!

Okay ... that should get you started ... until next week when the fun begins ...
