Chosun University Students Draw Attention by Making and Donating 'Masks and Hand Sanitizers' Themselves

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Students at Chosun University are drawing attention by personally making and donating masks and hand sanitizers to support the local community suffering from the COVID-19 crisis and the university members working hard on campus quarantine.

According to Chosun University on the 24th, the A.C.E. team is a volunteer club formed through the 'Co-Bildung Project' organized by the College of Basic Education.

The Co-Bildung Project is a representative extracurricular program operated by Chosun University, where teams of 3 to 5 students independently seek and implement solutions to various problems in the local community.

The A.C.E. team consists of team leader Kwon Hyungmin, a student in the Department of Business Administration, along with Song Jiwon (Department of English Education), Kim Hayun (Department of Korean Language Education), and Lee Sehyun (Department of Business Administration).

Student Kwon Hyungmin said, "As the second wave of spread is underway in our region, we wanted to find a way to help drive out COVID-19 from the community and university, even if just a little," adding, "After much discussion with the team members, we decided to make masks and hand sanitizers to give to those in need."

The masks were made using non-woven fabric, mask wire, special straps, and medical adhesive tape, while the hand sanitizers were made from ethanol and glycerin.

A.C.E. donated the masks and hand sanitizers they made directly to the Chosun University Health Center on the 20th. The donation included 30 masks and 14 hand sanitizers.

A representative from the Chosun University Health Center said, "We are proud of the students who are putting into action their desire to overcome the difficulties faced by the local community during the infectious disease crisis," and added, "We will ensure that the donated masks and hand sanitizers reach those who need them."
