Charity for Africa

Last week I was invited to a Charity Benefit Dinner by Dreamville Entertainment and Team and Team Organization. The organization does a great job of bringing water to villages in Africa. This organization goes to poor African villages that don’t have proper water facilities and they dig wells so they can have fresh water to drink, cook, and wash in. The Korean team that went over has helped dig wells and build shelters.

For the event, held at Patio 9 in Apgujeong, they brought in an African musical group to perform for us. It was an amazing performance.

In the future, I plan on working with this charity to do a fundraising event. I will let you know the details soon. I hope you will help the cause.

Cheers,

Dan
