JAKARTA (JP): The Korean Women's Association collected a total
of Rp 75,000,000 (US$30,000) during a fund-raising charity
Wednesday.

The money, which was contributed by various Korean companies
operating in Indonesia, has been donated to the Indonesian
Cardiac Foundation which, in turn, will use the funds to finance
heart bypass operations for 10 low-income heart patients who
cannot afford to pay for their operations.

The association has several times conducted such fund-raising
activities for social and charity purposes.

"In 1988, we raised Rp 20,000,000, which we donated to victims
of the volcano eruption in Bandung," Mrs. Park Eun Joo, one of
the association's executive board members, said. (bas)
