access to food, clothes, and education to provide them with hope and dreams. The Musical<br />

Foundation for One has established musical centers in Cambodia and other countries and<br />

dispatches music majors to offer musical education to children.<br />

Since September 2012, the Seoul Ballet Theater offers ballet classes in the poor Colombian<br />

village of Tulua to drive a positive change among children living in crime-prone areas. A<br />

large number of children participating in the classes are those exposed to the threats of rape<br />

and drug abuse. Colombia has suffered from mafia wars, drug abuse, and teenage prostitution<br />

as well as a longstanding civil war; the village of Tulua has an extremely high crime rate with<br />

140 homicides occurring in just this past nine months. Against this backdrop, expectations<br />

are high for the positive impacts of this project 14 .<br />

considerable economic effects.<br />

HIV/AIDS through games, significantly reducing HIV/AIDS infections of the participating<br />

children 15 .<br />

3) Project Execution – A Holistic Culture-Centered Approach<br />

A culture-centric approach is needed for the overall elements and phases of development in<br />

executing projects: (a) a respect for the recipient region and its culture, and an understanding<br />

of the differences and regional particularity; (b) reflection of the local culture when realizing<br />
