Entertainer Kang Ho Dong has stepped up to help the children of South Sudan.

'Green Umbrella Children's Foundation' stated on March 22nd that Kang Ho Dong approached them earlier this year, with the desire to help with the building of the school, provide all the equipment and supplies they need, and also donate bicycles and other vehicles for their transportation purposes.� Kang Ho Dong has already been working with this organization and their program called, 'Supporting Ssireum' since 2005 and has personally been supporting a young man who dreams of becoming 'Chunha Jangsa' (strong man).

A staff member at the organization said, "He wanted to help domestically but as we started our efforts in South Sudan, so we got him more interested in doing work internationally.� Currently there is no concrete name, method, or scale for the project."

Kang Ho Dong had retired from the entertainment industry last September because of a tax evasion scandal.� There was another scandal regarding property he bought in Pyeongchang, but he donated all of it to the Asan Hospital Social Welfare Center.

It is good to see Kang Ho Dong keep his head up and continue working and helping others even if it is outside the entertainment industry.
