Harvard University students are to travel from the U.S. to give stories to kids at a South Korean orphanage.

The Harvard College Stories for Orphans project which presents individualized books to parentless children around the world is to come to Asia on Jan. 4.

Six students from the prestigious American school are to visit Angel’s Haven in Seoul to present children with their own personalized stories.

Seventeen children at the orphanage filled in questionnaires ahead of the trip, which volunteers have transformed into individualized storybooks to read to the kids. The students will also play with the orphans and help them with their English skills during the short visit.

The project has also visited Tanzania, South Africa, the Dominican Republic and Peru since it started in 2008.
