Seoul International Women’s Association (SIWA) will host its “Caribbean Paradise” themed Annual Charity Gala on March 7th from 6:00 pm to 11:59 pm at the Conrad Seoul Hotel Ballroom in Yeouido. The evening will kick off with a cocktail hour where tropical beverages and hors d’ oeuvres are served and will continue with entertainment, raffles, dancing and a four-course meal accompanied by fine imported wine.
Net proceeds from the event, including the silent auction and raffles, will be distributed to three local Korean charities; Anna’s House, a homeless shelter founded by Father Vincenzo Bordo in 1998, providing food and various medical services to the homeless; Peace House, started by a woman in 1985 in the mountains of Hwacheon Goon, currently home to 24 physically and mentally disabled adults and children; Yang Yang Children’s Welfare Center, run by Pastor Chun In-suk and two teachers, providing after-school care for over 30 elementary, middle and high school students from low-income households.
