The entire amount will be used to support the healthy growth of children in developing countries.

The warm generosity you have shown will become new hope for children in the coming year.” She added, “This year as well, we will strive to expand the sharing ecosystem in our society so that more people can experience the value of sharing with the Korea Committee for UNICEF.”
