Park Shi Hoo’s China fans club made a generous donation

To celebrate its second anniversary last June, Park Shi Hoo’s China fans club supported eye operation of Chinese poor children under Park Shi Hoo’s name.
The fans club donated 10 million Won which was collected by special fund raising activity to the poor children with eye diseases.

The donation was submitted through OBRIS, an organization helps worldwide poor visually-handicapped-person to receive operation.
What amazing is that this wasn’t the first time the fans club made such donation. They helped to provide school stationary for children living in mountainous area in 2009. They also established a library for one elementary school named ‘Sihu Library’.

We loved to hear that !
We also guess that the fans club helped the eye-diseased children because they’re inspired by Park Shi Hoo’s character in The Princess Man who became a blind man in the end.
