NLCS Jeju 'Be Friend' Leader Minju Kang, Delivers $4,300 Donation to Daniel School

On Friday, April 7, 2023, Minju Kang, a Year 12 student and leader of ‘Be Friend’, a community service club at North London Collegiate School(NLCS) Jeju, donated $4,300 to Daniel School for the disabled, a sum raised through a calendar sales fundraiser. Established in 1975, Daniel School in Seoul is dedicated to nurturing students with special needs and fostering their growth through love and support.   In December 2022, during their winter break, Minju Kang(Y12), Yumin Lee(Y11), and Sungwoo Kim(Y11) of the ‘Be Friend’ team led art therapy classes for fourth-grade Daniel School students with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Upon completing the classes, the team produced a 2023 calendar showcasing the students' artwork and successfully raised $4,300 through a fundraising campaign. The entire proceeds were donated to Daniel School, which expressed gratitude to the compassionate NLCS Be Friend team and announced plans to utilize the funds to purchase textbooks for their students.   The art therapy classes were thoughtfully designed and carried out in partnership with Daniel School instructors and the Be Friend team. ‘Be Friend’ leader Minju Kang explained, "Many students with varying disabilities often struggle to communicate with the world due to their limited cognitive abilities. It is vital for these students to understand different facial expressions and emotions. As such, we focused on lessons aimed at enhancing these recognition skills, such as self-portrait projects."   Upon receiving the plaque of appreciation from Daniel School, Minju Kang reflected, "I am grateful to God for providing me with the opportunity to help others and for making this a rewarding and educational experience for all involved. I will use this experience as a stepping stone to continue supporting those in need in the future." 강동현 기자 kang_donghyun@koreadaily.comdonation friend daniel school friend team grade daniel
