Yuna auctions costumes for UNICEF

So blogger had been weird lately, won't let me sign in so I couldnt make new posts :(

Anyways, back to Yuna news!

Yuna had decided to auction off her costumes from her latest skating show, All That Skate Spring. All the money will go to UNICEF. As you all know, Yuna is a UNICEF ambassador. In the past, she had donated to UNICEF relief for Haiti and Japan.

Below are the pics of Yuna's different costumes from the show.

which one would you bid for?

Yuna donates her entire PRIZE MONEY to Japan

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Yuna Kim donates prize money to Japan quake survivors

SEOUL, Republic of Korea, 4 May 2011 - UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Yuna Kim says she will donate her silver prize money of $27,000 from the World Figure Skating Championships to children affected by the Japanese earthquake.

“I was heartbroken at the news that still many children in Japan are suffering from the devastating earthquake. So I decided to donate my '2011 World Figure Skating Championships' prize money to UNICEF to support these children,” Ms. Kim said.

“I hope my donation will help Japan recover from the tragedy in a short period of time and affected children can have a better life. I wish many people will continue to support children in Japan, who are still waiting for our help and love.”

It is not the first time Yuna Kim has helped children in need. Even before becoming a Goodwill Ambassador, she donated over $83,000 to Haiti earthquake victims through UNICEF.

As a Goodwill Ambassador, she has made additional donations to the work of UNICEF and appeared in a special video marking the six month anniversary of the earthquake to thank donors and urge continued support for the children in Haiti.

she's truly an angel on earth!

Hopefully this will minimize all the hate she gets from Japan due to the intense rivalry between Yuna and Japanese figureskaters :(

Yuna’s message on the UNICEF children's newsletter

Yuna’s message on the UNICEF children's newsletter "We Are Beautiful" April Issue

translation:

Hello!

This issue of UNICEF’s ‘We are Beautiful’ is about the world we live in.
It takes us around the world, a world made more beautiful because we are all different,
 and shows us how our fellow friends live.
Where do they live? What do they think are important? What are their favorite activities?What makes the children of the world happy? What makes them sad?
When I was seven years old, I met a world called ‘Figure Skating’.
When I put on my skates and went on the ice I found that I could glide forward with a little bit of force.
The refreshing cool wind that brushed against my face when I sped up…
I felt a joy that I had never felt before.I would play pretend Olympics and dreamt of winning the gold medal. 
Now I am dreaming a new dream.That dream is ‘To make a world where all children are happy’. 

To help children live a better life is much more difficult than becoming a world champion.There are too many children who live hard lives.
But together we can change the world.I’m confident that we can do it.
How about you?I want to tell children that they can overcome anything,
no matter how difficult the situation may be,
if you have a dream.
Sincerely,
UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador,
Figure Skater Yuna Kim

Yuna Kim @ UN's International Day of Peace

“Peace is what enables development and is critical in providing opportunities to young people. Efforts to preserve peace are absolutely vital in bringing prosperity and hope for the future." -- Yuna Kim

East coast Yuna fans, Yuna is in New York!

Yuna Kim, who was recently appointed as UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador last July, is accompanied by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for the celebration of the International Day of Peace and the official start of International Year of Youth at the United Nation's New York headquarters. Yuna spoke to a hundreds of really lucky students from all over the world about their role to promote peace in this world. (Some bored bitch around 1:15 in the vid looked annoyed. If I was in the same room as Yuna, I would be recording the whole damn thing and jumping up and down).



Here are some pics of Yuna at the event:

Yuna is asking you to support UNICEF

It's another 'Yuna speaking English!' Post.

Here is Yuna's latest video as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador urging everyone to support the UN's Millennium Development Goals. If only all athletes out there use their fame and influence for good ...instead of using their fame and influence to get more booty calls and cheat on their pregnant wife whose 12-year-old sister suffered a stroke (you're an amazing soccer player Wayne, but damn why you have to cheat on Coleen with 2 prostitutes?!!) Anyways, GO YUNA!



If you've missed her earlier vid for UNICEF where she thanked Haita donors, you can view it here

YUNA SPEAKING ENGLISH POST

I shouldve included this in my earlier post about her fans donating over $26k to UNICEF. Anyways, here is Yuna's first video message as UNICEF Ambassador which was posted last July. Through UNICEF, Yuna had donated over 100 million korean won to Haiti last January.

Fans donate $26,200 to UNICEF for Yuna's 20th bday + fanbook pics

Throughout her career, Yuna had donated over $1.7 million (2 billion Korean won) to various charities. Last July, Yuna was appointed as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and just last month she had donated her $10,000 "Proud Korean Award" prize money to UNICEF. Yuna Kim fans were very inspired by the skater's recent philanthropic activities that two of Yuna's fan sites, feverskating.com and gall.dcinside.com, pooled together over $26,200 by Sept. 5th, Yuna's 20th birthday. Gall managed to acquire $12,715 (14,946,247 Korean Won) and Feverskating's money totaled to $13,485 USD (15,850,952 Korean Won). That's almost 31 MILLION KOREAN WON all together. They donated the money to UNICEF as a birthday gift to Yuna since they know how much this will make her happy. Talk about fan dedication!

Fans from feverskating.com also made this cute Yuna fanbook. (I cant make it any bigger, guys. sorry!)

GREAT JOB, YUNA FANS!!!
