The Buddhist humanitarian organization Join Together Society Korea (JTS Korea), founded by the renowned Korean Seon (Zen) monk and engaged Buddhist Venerable Pomnyun Sunim, has provided a recent update on its relief program to provide gas stoves to Rohingya refugees living in refugees camps in Bangladesh after fleeing oppression in Myanmar.
In January 2019, Ven. Pomnyun Sunim led a delegation of aid representatives, including JTS President Gena Park, JTS Goodwill Ambassadors screenwriter Noh Hee-kyung and actor Jo In-sung, along with Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) chairman Lee Mi-kyung, to deliver a consignment of 100,000 gas stoves to a refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar, a district of Bangladesh’s Chittagong Division.* The stoves were provided by JTS Korea and JTS America in cooperation with the KOICA: 45,000 were provided by JTS Korea, 23,000 by JTS America, and 32,000 by the KOICA.
