UN-MDG Forum of national

assembly of ROK

Organization joined by 110 congressmen to support

UN MDG projects in KOREA

White Band Campaign Korea

Worldwide NGO organization to reduce the poverty

population

Why KOREA & KU should take a leading

part in UN MDG projects from now and

beyond year of 2015!

1)Year 2011 is the celebrating 20th year for joining

UN(161th country to become UN member country)

2)Also, after only 20 yrs, ROK has become the first

nation & first in history to become the “donor” country

from “recipient” country.

3)But, still faces North Korea(“country” which co-entered

UN same year as ROK), country with still profound

problems of poverty, hunger, health problems, and many

others.

4) Much have attained for UN MDG during last 2/3 of

targeted time, but much more is left to attain during

remaining 5 years & beyond 2015.

5) KOREA has become the one of the world leading

countries in many aspects.

6) KU is first and only university in KOREA joined as one

of U21 HSG network universities worldwide which has

a great momentum and experience on UN.

7) KU slogan is “Proactive KU” from “Global KU –

Frontier Sprit”.

8) UN General Secretary-Ban, Ki Moon- has served 5-yr

term and reelected this year to serve another 5-yr term

and we need to give great support for him and the UN

for UN MDG project.

9) But, mostly…..

G l o b a l K U - F r o n t i e r S p i r i t

..because I think we have the potential, passion, and

enthusiasm for the UN MDGs to fight against poverty,

hunger, health problems & others and to preserve our

environment, promote education & partnership not only

for those living at present but also for people in next

generations.

“TODAY IS THE DAY, & NOW IS THE TIME”

… and

FOLLOW YOUR HEART !”
