'South Korean civic organizations hold the inauguration ceremony of the National Campaign Headquarters for Collection of Peace Rice and collect written pledges of rice donations in container in the shape of the Korean peninsula in front of the Renaissance Seoul Hotel on Monday.

They have called on Koreans and international residents in South Korea to donate 20 kilograms of rice or 40,000 Won ($35.55) per household to help North Koreans, saying, “We cannot look other way from their starvation.”

They plan to carry on their campaign entitled “Rice is Love,” in twelve major cities this month and send one thousand tons of rice collections to North Korea by the end of this year.
