| Installation of a New Water System |
| There is a serious water shortage in various part of the Island of Mindanao where JTS has built several schools. The scarcity of clean water is causing problems such as exposure to water-borne diseases and various skin infections, especially in children. Therefore, JTS is installing water tanks in villages with water shortages to ensure stable supply of clean water.

December, 2018 Fundraising Campaign & Rohingya Refugee Fundraising Campaign
JTS’ regular end-of-year street fundraising campaign was conducted in various cities in South Korea by JTS volunteers. Also, the end-of-year fundraising campaign and fundraising to provide gas stoves to the Rohingya refugees were carried out by JTS volunteers in various part of the world at the request of JTS America. By conducting various fundraising events such as making kimchi, yard sales, and street fundraising, JTS volunteers overseas were able to contribute a significant donation amount towards providing gas stoves to the Rohingya refugees. We extend our deepest thanks to all who contributed.
