South Korea Donates $190,000 dollars to the OAS Youth Orchestra Program in Haiti
September 15, 2011
The Government of South Korea and the Organization of American States (OAS) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in which the Asian country presented the Organization with a contribution of $190,000 dollars to be used for the Orchestra Program for Youth at Risk in the Caribbean, specifically for the chapter in Haiti.
The agreement was signed in Washington, DC by the Director of the OAS Department of International Affairs, Irene Klinger, and the First Secretary and Alternate Observer of the Embassy of South Korea, Kyoo Ho Lee, who made the donation on behalf of the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The Orchestra Program for Youth at Risk was created with the objective of reducing juvenile crime and violence in the Caribbean by promoting the development of youth’s cognitive, musical, personal and social skills.
On behalf of the OAS Secretary General, José Miguel Insulza, Irene Klinger thanked the South Korean Government for the donation and noted the great interest the program is stirring up in the region.
First Secretary Kyoo Ho Lee stressed that “the contribution is very significant for us because education is very important,” and praised the characteristics of the program and its positive effects, which in his view will maximize the donation to its fullest extent.
