A foundation providing social
contribution, the Wonmopyeongae Foundation(圓母平愛財團 founded by
President Hak Ja Han, Kim Min Ha the current Chairman) is an organization that
was declared one year before the death of Reverend Sun Myung Moon and has been
in the preparation stages ever since. Reverend Moon gave the direction to
leaders at a gathering in Las Vegas, USA on August 16th 2011 to found the
Wonmopyeongae Foundation and emphasized on several occassions the importance of
its establishment. 1 year after it was declared in September 2012, Reverend
Moon suddenly passed away and with the significance of keeping the will alive,
the foundation was quickly established and in February this year an
inauguration ceremony was held. Afterwards, the foundation was added to a list
of major projects for the purpose of social contribution and great efforts were
made towards systematic work.
50
billion won was raised as part of donations gathered in memory of the former
Reverend Moon, and through the proceeds of selling the helicopter Reverend Moon
used a total of 110 billion won was raised for the foundation. The
foundation plans to expand the scale of the fund by gathering donations from
people in Korea and abroad. To do this, the Wonmopyeongae Foundation will run a
campaign titled 'charitable movement of sharing 1% for the promise of a great
future.' Further, instead of relying on the donations of members entirely,
there are plans to incorporate leaders from every country and the participation
of everyday people into the peace movement... |
