120803 Girls’ Generation Fansites work together to raise funds for charity project in Cambodia
The fanclubs that participated in the project are Flying Petals (http://kimtaeyeon.co.kr), Cotton Candy (http://merong77.com), Woorissica (http://woorissica.com), The Stephi (www.thestephi.com), Shining Smile (http://shiningsmile.kr), KwonYuri125 (http://kwonyuri125.com), Deer YoonA (http://deeryoona.com) and Seople (http://seople-zone.com). To make it more meaningful, the fanclubs made a donation to World Share amounting to 9,999,999 Won, where the 9s represent the number of members in Girls’ Generation.
The well digging works for improvement to potable water quality will be carried out in Ta Much Village located at Ta Phem Commune of Tram Kak District in Takeo Province, Cambodia. A plate bearing the names of all nine members will be made and placed at the well. After subtracting the sum to be used for building the ‘Well of Love’, the balance will be used on vaccinations, necessities and other expenses for the locals.
An admin of a fansite said, “Fanclubs have been expressing their interest to do something great together for quite a while now and to commemorate Girls’ Generation’s 5th anniversary of debut on August 5th, 2012, we have decided to come up with the fund raising activity. In the future, if there are opportunities coming by, we would like to continue collaborating with one another in order to carry out good activities like this.”
