Profile
Project Kimchi: Kimchi with kindness
"Kimchi for Kindness" is a project that aims to bring together different generations of Korea by making and delivering Kimchi to the elderly who live alone. Due to the rapid aging population and rapid industrialization, Korea is facing an epidemic of loneliness and isolation--especially for the older generations.
