Dho Young-shim: A advokat pariwisata kanggo kamanungsan lan kelestarian

The Republic of Korea is reaching out to the world in need, the world of children. And this reaching out is part of a global tourism initiative under the leadership of a Korean lady. This lady is also the only female candidate to become the next Secretary-General for the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO)

The lady behind it is Mrs. Dho Young-shim.

On September 25th, 2015, countries adopted a set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. Each goal has specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years.

UNWTO and for tourism, the ST-EP Foundation started.  Part of this activity was the  “Thank you Small Library “ project spearheaded by the ST-EP Foundation. This grassroots initiative established libraries in poor areas of the world as tools for community development and employment.

Connected with over 16 international organizations and programs, the UN SDGs TYsl initiative has built sustainable Public-Private Partnerships and has received significant support from the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Korea, and other partners.

The Initiative has positively changed the world of children and their communities. By giving children access to reading and learning facilities, while promoting the role sports and music have in education was part of the concept.

The initial advocacy Group (2010-2015) was established by Ban Ki Moon. Ambassador Dho Young-shim was appointed as an advocate. The role Madame Dho holds within The ST-EP Foundation and for the growth of Universal Primary Education has been unanimously recognized.

Dho’s initiative furthers reading and learning while offering a place where children can develop their education, sport, and music. The model is based on the Korean know-how and experience the country went through when eliminating poverty.

Through ST-EP and under Madam Dho’s leadership this concept was spread around the world, with a clear focus in Africa.

In the 60s and 70s. Korea was among the poorest countries in the world, with a GDP per capita of $82 in 1961. Today Korea is a major economic power and one of the wealthiest countries in the world with a GDP per capita of 20.000 US$ (2007). To undertake such a transition from a beneficiary country to a donor country, Korea is giving back, this time through sustainable tourism projects.

The establishment of libraries in the world

ST-EP established so far 156 libraried for childern in Africa  and 4 for adults, total 160. They are established in 14 states.
In addition Mongolia, Vietnam, India, Moldova and 14 more countries also have libraries established through the ST-EP initiative. More libraries are in the planning.
