The Korea Herald : The Nation's No.1 English Newspaper-EDITORIAL]Spirit of giving

The Korea Herald : The Nation's No.1 English Newspaper: "Koreans donate an average of 70,000 won a year, according to a recent survey.

The figure represents a more than 20 percent increase from 2003 when a similar survey was conducted by the Beautiful Foundation, a nonprofit public interest organization. According to the latest report, 68.6 percent of all Koreans made donations in 2005.

While the amount of donations per person has increased, it still remains small. Most of these donations were also made during the Christmas season and during donation drives to assist victims of natural disasters. Only about 20 percent gave on regular basis."
