Why I give to TCP Global
I grew up in South Korea as a child who was deprived of lots of things. I was born three years before the Korean War (1950-53) and the Korea I know from that time on until I left in 1969 for the U.S.A. was a poor country, not the one the world knows now as the world’s 11th richest country. I had no toys. I walked to school 3 miles each way rain or shine, freezing or steaming. No one had a car for private use except the richest few. We had outhouses, no flush toilets. We had water pumped from a well. When we got a telephone installed we celebrated. Of course, we never saw washer and dryer. The day we bought a refrigerator we knew it would be displayed in the living room as a status symbol. My list could go on and on.
All these reasons make me feel deeply for those who live right now in some corner of the globe without so many basic things. I am grateful we can help now. I will be a supporter of this project as long as I live. Now that I can afford to help out, it is my delight that we’ve found an organization as trustworthy as TCP Global.
Hyon is president of the Rotary Club of Bal Harbor and a columnist for the Korea Times. She met her husband, Tim, when she was a Peace Corps language instructor in South Korea and he was a PCV.
