South Korea’s President Gives His Fortune to Charity


I read happy news about my country. The president Lee Myung-bak decided to donate $26 million worth of his property to help needy students in our nation.

In 2007, he ran for president. At the time, he promised then to give away his wealth. He thought poor people had helped him "become who I am now." He said he wants to return the favor.
Many people thought he favors the rich , so he never keep his promise. However, he kept the promise. some people thought why president Lee suddenly donated his wealth.

They had a bad point of view and others had a good point of view. In a bad point of view, Lee wanted to change his image that recent polls show support for Lee is down. The other side, Lee really wanted to help poor students. Also, the optimist said that we should not have a prejudice against Lee's office.

In my opinion, I also support Lee and I'm so proud of my president.:) His action was very nice.Through the event, I wish our nation will grow more. Thus, I wish his donation will really be used for a good cause.
