Generous giving by Park Sihoo-ssi in Africa
I love the nostalgia that the end of the year brings. It will be Christmas and then followed by the new year and with these come the festivities of the season. Christmas has always been a time for giving and sharing, a coming together of family and friends. It is a joyous time for many, but it is also a time for thinking of the less fortunate.
Every Christmas, whenever the airwaves fill with Christmas songs, one song always comes to my mind. Band Aid’s “Do they know it’s Christmas?” This was a song with a cause, conceptualised in 1984 by singer and songwriter Bob Geldolf in his anti-poverty efforts for Africa. He raised money for famine relief in Ethiopia by banding together top British and Irish singers. Following this mega success, he then went on to organise charity super-concert Live Aid in 1985, Live 8 concert in 2005 and Band Aid 30 in 2014 for various causes.
Thinking of Band Aid, I can’t help but also think about Park Sihoo-ssi and his charity efforts. Not only did he personally get involved but because of him, his fans were also inspired to make their world better places by giving to the less fortunate in meaningful ways. No doubt, in the scheme of things, these efforts can’t compare with the big machinery of Band Aid, but nevertheless, however much they do, make a difference to the communities they support.
Park Sihoo-ssi’s own Africa charity effort under SBS’ Project Hope saw him make the journey to Ivory Coast to see its implementation. Not only was he involved in the fund raising for the project, he was also hands-on in building the school, setting up the football “field”, interacting with the children and playing football with them. What was most touching was Park Sihoo-ssi’s generous giving and opening of his heart with all sincerity to these children in this poverty stricken region.

With him as inspiration, his fans embarked on charity projects under his name in South Korea and China through donations of rice to the needy, building Sihoo Reading Rooms, helping to restore eye sights, supporting children with hearing difficulties and many more!

贡献之时
我好喜欢年底带来的怀旧。圣诞节即将到来，然后就是新的一年，都是值得庆祝的季节。圣诞节是与家人和朋友聚会，送礼和分享的时候。对许多人，在这欢乐的时光，也不忘为不幸或穷困的人带些祝福和温暖。
每一个圣诞节，当电台不断的播出悦耳的圣诞歌曲时，有一首歌总会出现在我脑海中。 Band Aid的“他们知道是圣诞吗？Do they know it’s Christmas? ”。Band Aid是歌手和歌曲作家鲍勃·格尔多尔夫Bob Geldolf 在1984为非洲的反贫困创出的概念， 制作了这首疯魔世界的歌曲。他邀请了顶级的英国和爱尔兰歌手参与，为埃塞俄比亚Ethiopia筹集饥荒救济基金。继这成功的项目之后，他于1985年组织了慈善超级音乐会Live Aid，2005年举办了Live 8音乐会，2014年举办了Band Aid 30超级乐队。
想到Band Aid援助，不禁想起施厚君和他的慈善工作。 不仅是他亲自参与慈善活动，而因为他，他的粉丝们也被启发，为不幸和困苦的人做些有意义的贡献，使他们的世界增添一些快乐。当然，跟Band Aid的大机器活动相比，这些是小巫见大巫，但尽管如此，他们的支持还是对社区有着贡献。
施厚君参加了SBS的非洲慈善活动“希望项目”。 他不仅参与为该项目筹集资金，还前往象牙海岸Ivory Coast，实施这项目。他和一伙韩国队伍和当地的伙伴们亲手建造学校，建立足球场，与孩子们互动，和他们一起踢足球。 最感人的是施厚君慷慨的奉献和打开他的心房，坦诚地伸出手和这些孩子们打成一片。
Doing good for the communities across China
凭借他的灵感，他的粉丝们在韩国和中国以他的名下开展了慈善项目，如捐赠大米给贫困人家，建立了施厚阅览室，支持有听和视力困难的儿童们等！
照片可以展示更多施厚君和厚粉们的慈善和捐赠的努力。感谢姐妹们的支持和慷慨贡献你们的时间，努力和金钱！
在圣诞佳节之时，让我们为困苦不幸的人家送祝福，如果可以，我们继续在来年为社会做更多的贡献吧！

Every time, to see such a topic, will be very touched! Because Shi Houjun, the impact of fans groups! Because chasing the heart interlinked, each corner of love, will spread to! Seemingly insignificant, to those who need help, power is powerful! Chinese language: “a family, there will be Yuqing!” How many virtues a man has, how many blessings! Let us, everyone, have become so kind, compassionate, loving person! As much as possible, let the state of life become more meaningful!
“Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.”[Charles schulz]. As the spirit of Christmas is dedicate to making the Christmas season brighter for children. And I think all of us are influenced by the spirit of Christmas, This being a permanent concern for PSH , not only on Christmas, but throught the whole year, in helping those children in need, And not only in his own country, but in many others in Africa and Asia. His kindness is carved in the hearts of many children, leaving a legacy of his love for them in their minds. His true generosity means to give his all and feel as it costs him nothing. “If you are in the luckiest one per cent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about other 99 per cent.”[Warren Buffell] Fortunately PSH belogs in the luckiest one per cent humanity, whose example makes the rest of humanity think about the other 99 per cent. PSH has been destined to be kind and carring for others in need. And everytime he gives , it’s Christmas!
