Help! Korean insight needed!
My Korean neighbors had their 12-year-old handicapped son pass away due to a choking accident over the weekend. I barely knew them, as did anyone in our newly-built neighborhood. They are friendly but have kept to themselves and there is a language barrier.
I would like to take up a collection among the neighbors and purchase some sort of a token of our sympathy for the family. I will also be making a card to give to them at that time. They are leaving to go back to Korea today, so I have some time before they are back.
Can anyone with some insight into Korean culture tell me what would or would not be appropriate for the gift and the card? I am at a loss and would love suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Christine
