Gwangju Bank Delivers 'Pink Box' to 50 Female Adolescents

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Bank (President Song Jong-wook) announced on the 21st that on the 20th, Song Jong-wook, President of Gwangju Bank, Kim Eun-young, Head of the Gwangju Regional Headquarters of the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, and Jeong Geum-ok, Chairperson of the Gwangju Bank Gaenari Association, attended a ceremony to deliver ‘Pink Boxes’ worth a total of 15 million KRW, 300,000 KRW per box, to 50 vulnerable female adolescents in the region.

Gwangju Bank carried out the social contribution activity ‘Pink Box with Gwangju Bank’ in collaboration with the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation to support female adolescents who face difficulties purchasing feminine hygiene products due to economic reasons.

To this end, members of the ‘Gaenari Association,’ a group of female employees at Gwangju Bank, took the initiative to directly assemble the ‘Pink Boxes,’ which consist of 11 types of health and hygiene products including sanitary pads, body care items, sunscreen, and masks.

Due to the deepening economic downturn in the region caused by the impact of COVID-19, these ‘Pink Boxes’ will be delivered to 50 local female adolescents who face increased burdens in purchasing feminine hygiene products through the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation. Handwritten letters of encouragement, personally written by members of the Gwangju Bank ‘Gaenari Association,’ will also be included to convey warm support messages.

Song Jong-wook, President of Gwangju Bank, said, “Amid growing anxiety among local residents and concerns about the regional economic downturn due to the resurgence of COVID-19, upon hearing the stories of adolescents struggling to purchase relatively expensive health and hygiene products compared to general goods due to economic difficulties, I decided to support this cause together with the female employees of the Gwangju Bank Gaenari Association. We will take the lead in various social contribution activities with the sense of mission as the representative bank of Gwangju and Jeonnam so that children and adolescents in our region can nurture healthy and happy dreams.”
