Joeun, Pharmacist at Jeonnam National University Hospital... Donates 2 Million Won to Scholarship Foundation
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] A new pharmacist at Jeonnam National University Hospital, who realized her dream of becoming a pharmacist with a scholarship from her hometown, has become a hot topic for donating her first salary to the hometown scholarship foundation.
The protagonist is pharmacist Jo Eun-i from Gangjin, Jeonnam.
On the 1st, she donated 2 million won in scholarship funds to the Gangjin-gun Citizens Scholarship Foundation (Chairman Lee Seung-ok).
Pharmacist Jo graduated from Gangjin Girls' Middle School and Damyang Changpyeong High School, entered university aiming to become a pharmacist, and nurtured her dream while receiving a total of 6 million won in scholarships over six years from the Gangjin-gun Citizens Scholarship Foundation.
While on leave from Duksung Women's University, she passed the Pharmacy Education Eligibility Test (PEET) and transferred to the College of Pharmacy at Jeonnam National University. She graduated last February and is currently working in the pharmacy department at Jeonnam National University Hospital.
All of her family members, including her father, the head of Jakcheon-myeon in Gangjin-gun, her mother, and her older brother, also participate in the donation culture expansion campaign called the ‘One Person, One Account Movement.’ Through this, they have been donating 10,000 won monthly to the scholarship foundation since last month.
