DGB Financial Group's 'Comfort Project' for Children and Adolescents... Hosted by Dream Tree Education Project Team

For Local Elementary, Middle, and High School Students... 37 Schools and 63 Classes Planned This Year

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] DGB Financial Group, which started the character education program 'Comfort Project' for local youth last year, announced on the 8th that this year it will continue as an emotional support program for students exhausted by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The 'Comfort Project' was launched after more than two years of planning by 'Kkumnamu Education Project Group,' a social enterprise operated by DGB Financial Group. The name symbolically incorporates the abbreviation WELO from 'We Love Others,' which combines the meanings of 'growing up (UP)' and 'comforting.'

On the 8th, the Comfort Project was conducted for first and second graders at Daegu Hyodong Elementary School with a 'Mind Prescription Kit' class to comfort children whose spirits have been dampened by COVID-19, and 'Dream Doll Making' to share emotional connections with peers.

DGB Financial Group plans to carry out the 'Comfort' program this year for 63 classes in 36 schools, starting with Hyodong Elementary School, strictly adhering to quarantine guidelines to support the emotional stability of children and adolescents experiencing significant environmental and social changes due to COVID-19.

'Kkumnamu Education Project Group,' a child and youth specialized educational institution established by the DGB Social Contribution Foundation, signed an educational donation agreement with the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education for the 'DGB With-U Dream Growth Project' and is promoting the 'Comfort Project.' The entire annual cost exceeding 200 million KRW for the program is supported by the DGB Social Contribution Foundation.

Chairman Kim Tae-oh stated, "In preparation for the post-COVID-19 era, we will develop various non-face-to-face programs and untact content," and added, "We will continue to provide excellent educational programs so that students in our region can grow up healthily."
