BMW Korea Future Foundation Successfully Completes Winter Hope Sharing School

BMW Korea Future Foundation announced on the 27th that it has successfully completed the '2023 Winter Hope Sharing School' in collaboration with the global NGO Good Neighbors.

Hope Sharing School is a domestic child support program by Good Neighbors that provides various educational and play programs, as well as quality lunches, to children who are at risk of care gaps during school vacations. BMW Korea Future Foundation is a major sponsor of the Winter Hope Sharing School.

This year's Winter Hope Sharing School was held from the 30th of last month to the 24th of this month, targeting 315 children from 13 schools and institutions nationwide. Lunch support and cultural experience events were provided for the children. Through the 'Future Dream' program, local professionals were invited to support children in exploring career paths.

Additionally, through the team project "Creating an Eco-friendly Travel Destination We Imagine," designed to enhance cooperation, children were given time to strengthen their interpersonal and communication skills. Participants learned about the importance of sustainable development and various ways to preserve the environment, and spent time creating artworks representing a green future using various art techniques such as upcycling and magazine scrapbooking.

Since beginning sponsorship of the Winter Hope Sharing School in 2012, BMW Korea Future Foundation has provided enjoyable vacations and equal educational opportunities to 59,915 children from 3,089 schools and institutions to date. The cumulative sponsorship funds through Good Neighbors, including support for Hope Sharing School and school uniform scholarships, amount to 3 billion KRW. In recognition of its continuous support contributing to domestic children from crisis families, the foundation received a plaque of appreciation from Good Neighbors last August.
