Hanwha Engineering & Construction announced on the 19th that it held the '2020 Forena Book Donation Campaign' awards ceremony on the 18th at the Hanwha Building in Janggyo-dong, Seoul.

The Forena Book Donation Campaign has been conducted since 2017 in partnership with the Seoul Association of Welfare Facilities for the Disabled to expand participation and promote a culture of donation for Hanwha Engineering & Construction's representative social contribution activity, the 'Forena Library Establishment Project.'

Last year, employees and the general public donated approximately 3,500 books, which are scheduled to be delivered to 91 Forena libraries opened by Hanwha Engineering & Construction.

Due to COVID-19 prevention measures, the awards ceremony was held only for employees. Appreciation plaques, hotel meal vouchers, and thank-you letters were sent by mail to general award recipients.

The grand prize winner, Manager Jeon Jae-kyung of Hanwha Engineering & Construction, said, "Although everyone is going through a difficult time due to COVID-19, I hope many people will gain strength by seeing the books donated with joyful hearts. I want to actively participate in various activities that can help spread the culture of donation, such as book donations, in the future."

The Forena Book Donation Campaign will continue this year as well. To facilitate donors and prevent COVID-19 infection, book donations can be sent postage due to the cooperating organization, the Seoul Association of Welfare Facilities for the Disabled (Room 703, Seoul Welfare Town, 21 Baekbeom-ro 31-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul / 02-926-3308).

Meanwhile, the Forena Library Establishment Project is Hanwha Engineering & Construction's social contribution activity that creates libraries by utilizing idle spaces within welfare facilities, which began in 2011. Starting with 'Greennae,' a vocational rehabilitation facility for the disabled in Hong Eun-dong, Seodaemun-gu, 91 libraries have been opened to date, and a total of approximately 57,000 books have been donated.
