Welcome to Dongdaewon 2018 at Seoul Foreign School. 

If this is your first time visiting this blog, please take a moment to read about the SFS history; post One Stop Shop, all you need to know about Dongdaewon and partnering with the Eugene Bell Foundation (please check out the links to find out more).

Dongdaewon is a six week, school wide fundraiser, where students and faculty raise money to support patients with tuberculosis in North Korea, at one of the 12 centers Eugene Bell supports. We have known it as Dongdaewon but it's official new name is Pyongchon MDR-TB Center.

The money we raise goes directly to providing medicine for the patients. The cost per patient who are on the multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) program is 5,040,000 won or approx $4,860 US (for an 18 month treatment course).  SFS has partnered with Eugene Bell for nearly 20 years.
