for not volunteering our time to society. However, if we could set aside two hours of the time we spent
following the latest Korean dramas every month,it would make a world of difference,
not just to the beneficiaries,but also to our way of
thinking and living.
Here are two everyday volunteersfrom THK Aviators,
who lead typical hectic lifestyles,but have made a point to set aside a little bit of
