[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 13th that it held the 'KB Clear Sky Gift Box for Children Delivery Ceremony' on the 12th at the temporary governor's office near the Chungnam Asan Police Human Resources Development Institute.

The event was attended by Yang Seung-jo, Governor of Chungnam Province, Yoon Do-won, Head of KB Kookmin Bank Chungcheong Regional Sales Group, Shin Beom-su, Head of Good Neighbors Chungnam Headquarters, and officials from related organizations.

KB Kookmin Bank is conducting various eco-friendly projects to address the serious social issue of fine dust and to promote the health of children and the elderly, who are relatively vulnerable to fine dust.

The 'KB Clear Sky Gift Box' is a box created for COVID-19 prevention and vulnerable groups to fine dust, consisting of fine dust masks, hand sanitizers, and oral cleansers as fine dust prevention supplies. In addition, the children's box includes a user manual containing hygiene education content, and the box for the elderly includes herbal candies beneficial for the bronchial tubes.

This support project is carried out in cooperation between KB Kookmin Bank and the international relief and development NGO Good Neighbors, targeting vulnerable groups. The plan is to provide the 'KB Clear Sky Gift Box' this month to about 1,500 children and adolescents (Chungcheongnam-do, Busan Metropolitan City, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi Province) and about 1,200 elderly people (Cheongju-si, Gwangyang-si, Nowon-gu in Seoul, Nam-gu in Gwangju).

A KB Kookmin Bank official said, "We hope this will be a practical help to the underprivileged who are having difficulty securing masks and hygiene products due to the recent spread of COVID-19."

Along with this, KB Kookmin Bank plans to urgently activate about 200 'Liiv M (Liv Mobile)' USIM cards to provide free communication services to Korean residents who recently returned from Wuhan, China, on the third chartered flight and were quarantined at the Icheon Defense Language Institute. Previously, on the 5th, the bank also supported about 600 'Liiv M (Liv Mobile)' USIM cards to Korean residents living at the Chungnam Asan Police Human Resources Development Institute.

A KB Kookmin Bank official said, "We have prepared a prompt support plan to help the Korean residents experiencing communication difficulties," and added, "We hope the residents can put down their mental burdens and return to their daily lives in good health."
