Actress Ha Ji-won Helps Low-Income Youths
Actress Ha Ji-won has been helping the needy, including low-income youths, for the past year.
The Gangnam branch of Healthy Family Support Center said the actress has been taking an active part in the 'Smile Again Project' since December last year to help low-income and disabled children.
The center also said the entire budget for the long-term project was donated by Ha. It said the actress will be donating money every year for the project.
The project includes a custom-designed family support service that involves home-to-home cognitive verbal therapy, a project called 'Dreams Come True' providing money for education and extracurricular activities for non-disabled children living with disabled family members, a project entitled 'A Painting By Our Family' that involves family members visiting local community centers to paint their walls as well as a 'Happy Bank Account' to promote love and expression of love among family members.
