Hyundai Oilbank, "Let's Do Untact Remote Volunteering"

Hyundai Oilbank employees and their families are participating in contactless volunteer activities by creating braille posters and masks for the visually and hearing impaired from their homes and personal office desks.

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Hyundai Oilbank has started producing educational materials and masks for people with hearing and visual impairments.

On the 28th, Hyundai Oilbank announced that it had produced 1,200 'masks with visible mouths' for the hearing impaired and 1,200 Korean Braille posters to help early visually impaired individuals learn Braille easily, which will be delivered to schools for the deaf and blind.

More than 500 employees and their families voluntarily participated in this volunteer activity, which was conducted in an on-tact manner, with remote workers participating from home and office workers from their desks, in preparation for the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

With mask-wearing recently becoming mandatory, hearing-impaired people who rely on lip-reading have faced difficulties, but the 'mask with visible mouth' is expected to help communication between students and teachers at schools for the deaf. The Braille posters will also be posted in public institutions to raise awareness of Braille among non-disabled people and improve disability awareness.

Meanwhile, since last year, Hyundai Oilbank has been supporting barrier-free film production as a cultural support project for people with hearing and visual impairments. Two barrier-free films have been produced and screened through online channels this year. Barrier-free films refer to movies with subtitles and audio descriptions added to remove barriers to film appreciation for people with hearing and visual impairments.
