BORACAY Island- The Korean Residents Organization in Malay, Aklan (KROB) is inviting Boracaynons to avail of their free dental mission and gift-giving event for the children of this resort island.

Soojin Kim, the president of the KROB, told the Boracay Island News Network that the event will be held on February 29–March 1 at the Manocmanoc Plaza.
