Taekwang Group Delivers Sanitation Supplies and Play Equipment to Disabled Children Unable to Engage in Outdoor Activities Due to COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Taekwang Group is delivering quarantine supplies to vulnerable groups, including children with disabilities, amid the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

On the 6th, Taekwang Group announced that it delivered masks and other quarantine supplies, along with toys and play equipment for indoor activities, to 'Hansarang Disabled Infant Home,' a facility for children with disabilities located in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province. The play equipment was requested as the most urgently needed item by Hansarang Disabled Infant Home due to restrictions on outdoor activities caused by COVID-19.

Originally, new employees of the group were scheduled to visit Hansarang Disabled Infant Home and participate in volunteer play activities with the children at a sledding hill in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province. However, due to the spread of COVID-19, the plan was abruptly canceled, and instead, supplies were purchased and delivered using activity operation funds.

Since selecting its first group of new employees in 2006, Taekwang Group has conducted orientation training annually for new hires, making social contribution activities that convey warm love a mandatory part of developing well-rounded talents. This was planned to be the second visit to the facility for children with disabilities following last year.

Meanwhile, as COVID-19 continues to spread, Taekwang Group is reviewing whether additional assistance or supplies can be provided to the marginalized groups supported by each affiliate’s planned social contribution activities.
