Lee also called on media outlets to amplify stories of charitable initiatives, encouraging greater public awareness and participation in community contributions.
“By sharing these stories, the media can inspire more individuals to do good, raising awareness and support for those in need, and ultimately spreading hope,” he pointed out .
