Habitat for Humanity Korea has named Rev. Yi Sun as its new chairman of the board.

The pastor of Cheonnan Central Presbyterian Church was elected for the position in a meeting of board directors of the organization Saturday.

Yi had served as the board member of the organization since 2000.

The organization has helped about 1,000 low-income families nationwide and 700 overseas by either building or repairing their houses.

Its official Web site is www.habitat.or.kr.
