JTI Korea Donates Funds for Educational Smart Devices to Community Chest of Korea
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] JTI Korea is stepping up to support neighbors left behind in non-face-to-face education. On the 21st, JTI Korea announced that it had delivered a fund to support educational smart devices to the Community Chest of Korea (Sarangui Yeolmae).
The fund delivery ceremony took place on the 17th at the Sarangui Yeolmae Hall in Jung-gu, Seoul, attended by Jeong Gyeong-il, Executive Director of JTI Korea, and Kim Yeon-soon, Secretary General of Sarangui Yeolmae, among others.
This fund was donated to the Together Foundation and will be used to provide educational smart devices to socially vulnerable groups who are having difficulties learning due to the prolonged social distancing caused by the spread of COVID-19, which has made non-face-to-face remote classes common.
JTI Korea plans to select beneficiaries based on strict criteria that consider the age of the recipients, the necessity of support, and benefits, in accordance with relevant laws and government guidelines.
Executive Director Jeong said, “We delivered this fund to support those struggling with non-face-to-face remote classes and to help improve the educational environment,” adding, “JTI Korea will continue to contribute to community development through various social contribution activities so that this donation will not be a one-time event.”
Secretary General Kim said, “Many neighbors are going through difficult times due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic,” and added, “Especially with the increase in non-face-to-face classes, students from low-income families had difficulty participating in classes due to the lack of learning devices. JTI Korea’s support this time is meaningful as it facilitates these students’ participation in classes.”
