[ A MESSAGE FROM Yoon-Ok, Wife of Seoul City Mayor Lee Myung-bak, 2005 ]
Helping our neighbors is simply the right thing to do and also the most rewarding. And this event is a great example of what we can achieve.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for inviting me to participate in the Seoul International Women's Association (SIWA) and Diplomatic Community Bazaar this year. I'm very honored and pleased to be a part of it.
It's great being able to bring together people of various nationalities, to help our local community. It gives me a great feeling, like I am in a small but beautiful global village. Let me take this opportunity to express my heartfelt respect to all of you who have shown what true love is through your charity works and with your affection for Seoul and Korea.
SIWA Bazaar is indeed a good chance for us to experience various cultures of nations around the world. I hope that this annual event would further prosper in the coming years and contribute to the globalization of the city of Seoul.
I also would like to thank the organizers and participants of this bazaar and wish every success of this event. it is my sincere hope that the bazaar may help our neighbors in need have a warmer winter.
I wish you the best of luck and health.
