[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seung-jin] The E-Land Foundation and the Korean Red Cross announced on the 10th that they held a handover ceremony to provide winter supplies for Afghan special contributors.

The E-Land Foundation and SPAO delivered winter clothing and shoes worth a total of 52 million KRW to the Korean Red Cross at the Korean Red Cross reception room located in Jung-gu, Seoul, attended by E-Land Foundation CEO Jeong Jae-cheol, SPAO BU Head Seong Nak-won of E-Land World, and Korean Red Cross Chairperson Shin Hee-young.

The Afghan special contributors are a total of 391 Afghan refugees who were specially admitted through the Miracle Operation in recognition of their contributions in assisting Korea and allied forces in Afghanistan.

In the urgent escape process through Kabul Airport, the capital of Afghanistan, many were unable to properly bring clothes and daily necessities, making multifaceted support for them an urgent matter. The E-Land Foundation and SPAO stepped up to provide assistance.

The E-Land Foundation and SPAO supported the special contributors with personalized winter clothing sets including winter down padding jumpers, sweatshirts, jeans, and sneakers to encourage them to have a warm winter amid rapidly dropping temperatures.

With the help of the Ministry of Justice’s Immigration Planning Division and on-site support staff, the clothing and shoe sizes of 79 households and 391 refugees were identified in advance. E-Land Foundation employees personally selected appropriate products from the logistics warehouse and packed them tailored to each household before shipping.

Jeong Jae-cheol, CEO of the E-Land Foundation, said, “We provided winter clothing and shoes with warm hearts so that the Afghan special contributors can spend Korea’s winter warmly,” adding, “We hope that the welcoming and encouraging letters sent along with the winter supplies will convey the sincere support of all of us for their settlement and stability.”

Shin Hee-young, Chairperson of the Korean Red Cross, said, “The warm kindness and thoughtful consideration shown by E-Land will be a great strength to the Afghan special contributors and an opportunity for them to feel the warm hearts of our people,” and added, “We appreciate your participation in this humanitarian support and look forward to your continued involvement in further assistance.”
