Woomi Hope Foundation wraps up 5th Udada Camp for children from multicultural families

The Woomi Hope Foundation announced Friday that it had held the "2026 Udada Camp 5th Session" for children from multicultural families.

The Udada Camp — whose name combines the Korean words for "Woomi," "dream" and "fulfillment" — is the foundation's flagship program, providing children from multicultural households with 60 sessions of one-on-one basic learning and care each year. Since its launch in 2022, the foundation has run the camp in partnership with Connecting the Dots (Jjekjjek Ageo) and ChildFund Korea, and this year marks its fifth consecutive edition.

Starting in 2024, the program added a "Udada Parent Class" for participating families, offering guidance on child development, parenting and discipline, and stress management — supporting the growth of both children and parents.

The fifth session drew 55 participants. To expand access, the foundation plans to hold a Gyeonggi Province session of the Udada Camp on Sept. 19.

"I think Udada is about building relationships where children can show up as they truly are," said Lee Chun-seok, secretary-general of the Woomi Hope Foundation. "We will continue developing diverse programs so that more children from multicultural families can be part of Udada."

The Woomi Hope Foundation is a nonprofit established in 2006 with funding from Woomi Construction. It runs programs supporting children and youth, multicultural families, families affected by industrial accidents, and young people who serve as primary caregivers for family members.
