History
[edit]In 1995, The founder, Kim Jong-ki, established The Blue Tree Foundation after losing his 16-year-old son due to school violence, with the hope that there will no longer be a father like himself.
The foundation organized a campaign collecting 470,000 signature from citizens to create measures to prevent school violence, which later contributed to the enactment of the Act on the Prevention of and Countermeasures Against Violence in Schools[3] in 2004.
