[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] Samhwa Paint Industrial announced on the 1st that it conducted a non-face-to-face volunteer activity called 'Making Mask Straps' for people with developmental disabilities.

Fifty volunteers, including members of the Samhwa Paint in-house volunteer group and employees, made mask straps over the past month while watching a pre-shared video with their family, friends, and colleagues. The mask straps were made using a knotting method to ensure long-term use.

The 200 completed mask straps will be delivered to Chung Hyun Welfare Center, a facility for people with developmental disabilities located in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul. According to the company, this activity was planned to help people with developmental disabilities wear masks without the risk of losing them during the period when mask-wearing has become routine due to COVID-19.

A Samhwa Paint official said, "We hope this donation will help prevent COVID-19 infections among people with developmental disabilities, even if only a little," and added, "We plan to continue organizing non-face-to-face sharing activities that can be easily participated in daily life."
