Asiana Airlines Volunteers Counting Foreign Coins with Employees' Children

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Asiana Airlines announced on the 19th that it conducted a volunteer activity to count the in-flight coins collected through the 'Love In-flight Coin Collection Campaign' along with employees' children on the 17th.

Since 1994, the Love In-flight Coin Collection Campaign, conducted under an agreement with the UNICEF Korea Committee, is Asiana Airlines' first social contribution activity that collects foreign coins left after overseas trips to support children in vulnerable areas worldwide.

The coins collected through the in-flight coin collection campaign have been counted directly by flight attendants belonging to Asiana Airlines' cabin crew club 'OZ UNICEF,' but this coin counting activity was made more meaningful by the participation of employees' children during the winter vacation. The attending employees' children opened the donation boxes, sorted foreign currencies by denomination and amount, and after the volunteer activity, toured Asiana Airlines' History Museum and the training facilities for cabin crew members.

Meanwhile, Asiana Airlines' Love In-flight Coin Collection Campaign, now in its 26th year, has surpassed a cumulative donation amount of 14.5 billion KRW. The raised funds are used as resources for various projects such as ▲malaria prevention activities ▲newborn health support activities ▲building schools for children ▲education support in emergency relief situations for children in vulnerable areas of Africa and Asia.
