This season the league will be donating money to an orphanage called Myung Jin Children's Welfare Center, which is located near Gubeundari Station (굽은다리역) on Seoul subway line 5 (in Cheonho Dong in the southeastern part of Seoul).

The center will use our donation on scholarships for the kids. A speaker from the charity will come to the banquet to say a few words about the place and thank the league members for their contribution.

The orphanage has also asked if league members might donate some simple items of which the center is in short supply.

They have given me a Christmas Wishlist, so if anybody wants to donate any of the following, there will be a drop box provided in the Crown Hotel on the night of the banquet:

Priority items in short supply:

Toilet paper

Shower gel (not hair shampoo, as it is a luxury the center does not have enough funds to replenish)

Laundry detergent (preferably liquid detergent with fabric softener)

Other items:

Toothbrushes

Socks (featuring cartoon characters such as The Simpsons or Doraemon)

Toys

A tin of beans

There are 99 kids at the center; 52 boys and 47 girls.

- Kindergarteners: 9 (Boys 6; Girls 3)
- Elementary school students: 36 (Boys 17; Girls 19)
- Middle school students: 26 (Boys 16; Girls 10)
- High school students: 20 (Boys 8; Girls 12)
