On the 12th, Hyundai Home Shopping held a 'Do Dream Together' fund transfer ceremony at its headquarters in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, attended by Hyundai Home Shopping President Lim Dae-gyu and Korea Disabled Rehabilitation Association Chairman Kim In-gyu.

At the ceremony, Choi Hye-jung, a student who entered university through the Do Dream Together program over the past five years, also attended as a representative scholar. Choi Hye-jung, who dreamed of becoming an ophthalmologist for her visually impaired father, received academy tuition support through Do Dream Together for the past five years and entered the medical school this year.

Do Dream Together is a learning support project for people with disabilities operated by Hyundai Home Shopping and the Korea Disabled Rehabilitation Association since 2014. It supports learning activities that individuals want to pursue, ranging from arts such as music and fine arts to academic subjects like Korean, English, and mathematics. It also operates academic consulting and mentoring programs for students from middle and high school families with disabilities who need assistance.

Hyundai Home Shopping selects new beneficiaries (from first-year middle school to third-year high school) annually in cooperation with the association. Existing selected students can receive continuous tuition support for up to six years if they faithfully follow their study plans. Through the Do Dream Together project, Hyundai Home Shopping has supported a total of 37 billion 1,176 million KRW in tuition fees for 370 students up to this year.

Hyundai Home Shopping President Lim Dae-gyu said, "We hope the Do Dream Together support project will help improve the learning environment for young people from families with disabilities who are experiencing financial difficulties, even if only a little." He added, "We will continue to carry out various customized support projects, including support for people with disabilities."
