Relief Money for the Daegu Subway Disaster
On February 18, 2003, a devastating fire took place in a subway in Daegu, South Korea, causing over 200 deaths, along with many injuries and missing persons cases. The disaster occurred in the morning when students were being transported to school and office women were going to work so many women and children were among the victims. A number of firefighters were also lost in the blaze. The disaster was so great that the city has still not yet fully recovered, and so the Korean people continue to donate money to help in the relief efforts.
Thus, following Master’s compassionate example, the centers in South Korea collected relief funds for a period of one month to assist the victims. In March 30, 2003, Korean initiates contributed 3,108,070 Won (approx. USD 2600) to the victims via the Joong Ang Ilbo, a major local newspaper.
