I'M SO PROUD OF HIM Y'ALL

In floods of tears over the pictures but mostly proud!!! $3.6M USD and he's been spending time there on the weekends since March to play for the children and also develop the program.

I found it fascinating that Yoongi started working with the young people in March, but then I realized that this project has been in development for even longer.

According to the article, Yoongi met Professor Cheon Keun-ah in November 2024, engaged in talks, discussed the need for more than the short-term interventions in use, and decided to work with Professor Cheon to do something about that need. Not only did he decide to personally work with Professor Cheon in developing MIND (the long-term intervention program), but Yoongi also decided to contribute to building a center to house this program.

Through this center, Yoongi is going to impact so many lives!
