WeLoveU Foundation\u2019s Efforts for a Sustainable Future<\/h2>\n

Only when the development of humankind complements the natural environment without destroying it can we make our future sustainable. The global village is suffering from various types of disasters, poverty, diseases, and climate change. The UN established the Sustainable Development Goals [SDGs]<\/a> in 2015 to make a sustainable future.<\/p>\n

The WeLoveU has been practicing various volunteer services with the love of a mother for a sustainable future for the earth and humankind. The annual New Life Family Walkathon is one of such services. The WeLoveU is going to support 115 underprivileged or multicultural households in Korea with medical and living costs, and donate 2,150,000 KRW (200,000 USD) to 20 countries in support of educational facilities, goods, and activities in accordance with the SDG 4: Quality Education.<\/p>\n

Distinguished guests expressed gratitude and respect through their congratulatory speeches to Honorary Chairwoman Zahng Gil-jah and the Intl. WeLoveU Foundation. They hoped that WeLoveU\u2019s efforts would change the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe each and every step we take through the walkathon will create a better world for the next generation, provide an equitable opportunity of education, and help them make their own decisions. Through our participation in today\u2019s walkathon, we are all walking together hand-in-hand toward a sustainable development in the world where no child will be left behind, uneducated, and in despair. Once again, I would like to thank Madam Zahng and all of you who are here today to make a difference with a loving and encouraging heart of a mother. Let\u2019s walk together and change the world!\u201d\nH.E. Adel Mohammad Adaileh the Ambassador of Jordan to Korea<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWhile walking, I could feel how precious life and nature are, and I was happy to come with my family. In this age when individualism prevails, I had a meaningful time with my children by letting them experience how joyful it is to help our unfortunate neighbors and to live together,\u201d said Kim Mun-seok, a member from Bucheon, Korea.<\/p>\n

Participants and embassy officials signed a pledge in support of the WeLoveU\u2019s activities for a sustainable future.
