You have to respect how Hines Ward has continued his support of Amerasian even long after his famous return to Korea following him winning the Super Bowl MVP award two years ago:
Eight Amerasian children from South Korea spent a week in America at the invitation of Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward.
Ward paid for the children’s air fare and other expenses, said Bae Kyung-hee, an official from Pearl S. Buck International, an organization founded in the mid-1960s to help Asian children who were not eligible for adoption.
The organization assisted Ward in bringing the children to the United States, where they stayed with host families and watched the Steelers play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
The children were slated to return early this week. [Stars & Stripes]
I said a year and a half ago when Hines Ward first visited Korea that I would be impressed if he maintained his commitment to Amerasian children in the coming years instead of spotlighting it for a few weeks to win some cheap media points which seems all to common with celebrities now a days. He continued his commitment long after the Super Bowl and as this article shows he continues to be an advocate for Amerasian children today as well.
