"During the performance, all of my repressed emotions were coming out, I cried extremely... today's actually my first day at this hospice, I moved into the hospice last night. I actually was feeling hopeless for coming into hospice, but this concert of EnoB touched my heart and pulled all the emotions out, and gave me joy and hope to me. I am very glad that it's an ongoing event, please come again...! Thank you very very much."

EnoB is the bridge that connects professionals and people who need their artistic talents. Professionals can share their talents and love through each individual's talents while people who are isolated can feel joy and hope.
EnoB tries to build closer relations with local organizational partners and to involve more professionals, which will allow us to put even more expertise into our outreach concert programs and to do even more for the community.
EnoB strives to involve growth through culture and arts, to those who have lacked such opportunities in the past, and to help them to gain confidence to go out into the world.
Through many outreach concerts, members of EnoB realize that their talents actually help those who are isolated to fell joy and hope. EnoB will continue to contribute to the goal of a world full of happiness in which no one is isolated or forgotten.
EnoB is a benevolent nonprofit organization that reaches out to people who are disabled or hospitalized, or who suffer from socio-economic disadvantages, and enriches their lives by involving them in high quality "edutainment" events and programs.
To reach out even further, in 2012 EnoB established a branch in Seoul, South Korea. Keeping the same mission and vision the Seoul branch runs independently, receiving funding through local channels to coordinate activities and provide services for the disabled, hospitalized patients, and multicultural families.

EnoB was founded in 2006 by young professionals in the New York City area who wanted to share their talents with those who could not easily access cultural events. The founders come from diverse professional backgrounds – including the arts, health care, NGOs and other charitable institutions – but they share the common goal of helping others. They believe in the power of culture and the arts to bring out the best in youth and seniors, regardless of their circumstances and hardships.
In 2012, EnoB established a branch in Seoul, South Korea to reach out the goal further. Since its founding, EnoB has successfully fulfilled its mission to "Spread Happiness" by leveraging the donated talents of about 400 people in New York and Seoul to provide more than 150 outreach concerts.
