Lotte Hi-Mart Donates 100 Laptops for Learning Purposes

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Lotte Hi-Mart donated 100 learning laptops necessary for remote learning on the 16th due to online school openings. The laptops will be delivered to children from low-income families nationwide who have not yet secured remote learning devices or who possess outdated devices. The donation ceremony took place at the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation Seoul Southern Regional Headquarters in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, with Lotte Hi-Mart’s Park Wang-geun, Head of the Compliance Management Division, and Kim Yoo-sung, Head of the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation Seoul Southern Regional Headquarters, in attendance.

To donate laptops, Lotte Hi-Mart conducted a donation campaign titled 'Please Give the Gift of School to Children' with customers from the 10th to the 12th. The funds for the learning laptops were raised from the proceeds of PC (desktop, laptop, tablet) sales at over 460 Lotte Hi-Mart stores and the Lotte Hi-Mart online shopping mall during the three-day period.

Lotte Hi-Mart has been carrying out various social contribution activities for children in local communities. In January, they held the ‘Hi Science Classroom,’ where children at child welfare facilities learned how home appliances work and made mini kits themselves. The ‘Lotte Hi-Mart Charlotte Volunteer Group,’ composed of Lotte Hi-Mart employees, participated directly as assistant teachers. In December last year, to celebrate the year-end, they visited six regional children’s centers nationwide and conducted relay volunteer activities such as Christmas parties and facility cleaning.
