Hines Ward is returning to Korea next week to help establish a foundation for biracial kids...

There isn't a lot of information about the foundation's specific goals and plans. Anyone seen any information about it?

Here's the article I read.

Hines Ward To Make Second Trip To South Korea
(AP) SEOUL, South Korea Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward will visit Seoul, Korea, next week to work on establishing a foundation to help children of mixed race.

It will be Ward's second visit to South Korea, where he was born.

His South Korean agency, Access Entertainment, says in a statement the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver will arrive on May 26th for a five-day stay.

During his previous visit, last month, Ward promised to establish a foundation to help biracial kids.

Born to a Korean mother and an African-American soldier, Ward and his family left South Korea when he was a baby.

Ward shot to sudden stardom in South Korea after winning the NFL's most valuable player award in February.

His racial background has also drawn attention to the discrimination faced by children of mixed heritage in that racially homogenous country.

No, it's CRAP news. It's ego driven bull crap. There are already very hard-working people doing this. He would do far more good not splitting the pie yet again and joining in with the Pearl S. Buck Foundation...

What the HELL is wrong with people?

@#$%@#$%@%!#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
