Jang's Charity Mentioned in Chinese Gov't Briefing
Authorities in Jinan city in China's Santung province announced at an administrative briefing earlier this week that the charity foundation set up by Korean singer Jang Nara has begun operation.
The Jinan government says "the foundation named after the popular Korean singer has begun operation" calling it the first of its kind in the city.
It said the first 200,000 yuan were donated by a Beijing cultural corporation and that so far 500,000 yuan have been collected from Chinese dailies, Korea's Chung-ang University and Jang's concert proceeds. The money will all go to help poor leukemic children in Jinan.
The city also says that the city vice mayor, on behalf of the municipal charity association, has officially appointed Jang as Jinan's charity ambassador.
Jang has long been doing good work for needy people in China. Her June 25 concert in Jinan was held to raise money for the foundation.
