Run for the orphans with Hailey (Minseon)

There are children and juveniles who are abandoned and rejected by their parents and relatives. They have very deep wounds and it is very hard for them to overcome the issues. They need help. Showing affection through these small gestures will help them to realize that they are important and there are people who care about them.

On Saturday, October 21, 2017, Oak Tree Project will be holding our 3rd annual Oak Tree Run to raise funds for scholarships for orphans in South Korea. Orphans in Korea are on their own after they graduate from high school and many struggle to get by financially and emotionally. It is especially difficult for those who get into college who have to work while studying. The stress and loneliness leads to depression and desperation for many, which can lead to prostitution, joining gangs, or even suicide. Oak Tree Project is a scholarship and mentoring program designed to not just help the orphans have funds through college, but to also receive the emotional support and guidance they need to succeed.
