<p align="left">Since 2011, students majoring in apparel design at Konkuk University (KU) have been carrying on a tradition of talent donation project named "Touch," by making apparel for neighbors in need. In late 2014, they launched a new project through which secondhand clothes were redesigned and sent to children in developing nations.</p> <p align="left">Under the slogan "RE:BORN," a team of 10 apparel design students redesigned 60 pieces of used clothes donated by Konkuk students; the altered clothes were then delivered on 2014 Christmas Day to OTCAN, a non-profit organization based in Korea. OTCAN is dedicated to supporting the development of children in developing countries mainly through art education, improvement of the educational environment, and sharing clothes. Clothing that could have been discarded was "reborn" as useful goods through mending, labelling, and patchwork. Students donated on Christmas Day to send out the message that these redesigned clothes can become Christmas gifts that anyone may wish for, and not merely clothes that have been mended. In this respect, they attached a label with a message of hope written on the back to each piece of clothing, which is similar to a card that commonly accompanies a gift.</p> <p align="left">Mr. Jun-hyung Park, the representative of the group "Touch," commented that the project aimed at encouraging the participation of all College of Art & Design students, and not just that of apparel design students, as well as to realize good values. He added that this donation of secondhand clothing will take place each year as Konkuk's representative cultural event.</p> <p align="left"> </p> <p>Source: KU Newsletter (March 2015 Issue)</p> <p>Link:<a href="../../Administration/Abroad/newsletter/march2015/news05.jsp" target="_blank">http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/Administration/Abroad/newsletter/march2015/news05.jsp</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="ArticleFile.do?id=11610684" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;" align="left"><img src="ArticleFile.do?id=11610685" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;" align="left"> </p> <p style="text-align: right;">Posted by Eun Jin Cho</p>
