On the 30th of last month, at the donation ceremony held at Holt Children's Services, Kim Mi-kyung announced that the donation was made to guarantee online learning rights for children from single-parent families.
Kim Mi-kyung said, "Due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), school classes have shifted to non-face-to-face online lessons. After hearing stories of children from single-parent families who are excluded from public education because they lack laptops or computers, I decided to donate," adding, "I will continue to pay attention so that children from single-parent families can have equal educational opportunities and grow up with self-esteem."
As an ambassador for Holt Children's Services, Kim Mi-kyung leads various volunteer activities and events for single-parent families. Since founding the nonprofit organization GrooMom in 2016 to support single parents, she has also operated counseling for emotional healing and various educational programs. This donation will be fully used to support smart learning devices for children from single-parent families vulnerable to the digital education environment, aiming to eliminate educational opportunity inequality and guarantee learning rights. Kim Mi-kyung is a power YouTuber running the channel "MKTV Kim Mi-kyung TV" with 1.12 million subscribers and is the CEO of the digital content company Yeonnam Town Creative.
