THE HINES WARD HELPING HANDS FOUNDATION
Born in Seoul, South Korea to a Korean mother and an African American soldier, Hines has become an international role model to children everywhere.
Having persevered through many trials as a child in a single parent home, Hines has dedicated his time off the field to the betterment of inner city and underprivileged youth in the Pittsburgh and Atlanta areas. His Helping Hands U.S. Foundation focuses on improving literacy among children and will provide programs and services to better equip them for achieving and handling success in life.
Abroad, his Helping Hands Korea Foundation (formed as a tribute to his mother) has targeted biracial discrimination, especially as it occurs among the children of Korea. With two visits to Seoul this past summer, Hines has already made a significant impact on the entire country of Korea by speaking out against the country’s discriminatory practices and by pledging his time and allegiance to the biracial children there.
Indeed, with his dedication of both “heart and soul” to his Helping Hands cause both here and abroad, Hines Ward is considered by many to be the world’s “Ambassador of Hope” to children from all walks of life.

I hope lunchbots is paying you for this post!
Looks delicious! Those chicken nuggets are making me really hungry 🙂 I love my Lunchbots boxes! Hope you fall in love with this one too!
Thank you, ohayayobento! I had written more about making the nuggets, but somehow that part of my post disappeared. Will put up more later but used organic Heirloom Flakes, so they are slightly “healthy,” though still fried. 😉 Super stoked about the LunchBot box. Think it will be lots of fun!
I adore your bento box posts ~ inspirtation for sure ~ junemoon
