[Vancouver] Elaine Chu and Kari Karlsbjerg, co-authors of the bestselling bilingual guide to local life, Everyday Vancouver, were happy to present a cheque for $3,550 to the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation from their book sales proceeds.
Karlsbjerg expressed her gratitude for the tremendous support given to the book by the Korean immigrant community: “The Korean diaspora here is very dedicated and committed to actively participating in and contributing to the betterment of their communities, so they have found the book very helpful and appreciated the fact that all book proceeds were being donated too.”
Chu added, “we are happy that our book could bring a little positivity to a difficult year.” The generous donation will go towards the hospital’s COVID-19 Response Fund used for supplying PPE and other medical supplies and equipment urgently needed by the medical team to deal with the pandemic.
