Daewoong Pharmaceutical Social Contribution Program 'Chamjimayo' 5th Generation University Student Volunteer Group Launch

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Daewoong Pharmaceutical announced on the 9th that it held the launch ceremony of the social contribution program 'Chamjima-yo 5th University Student Education Volunteer Group' online.

'Chamjima-yo' is Daewoong Pharmaceutical's representative social contribution program that helps slow learners such as individuals with developmental disabilities and borderline intellectual functioning children accurately express the symptoms of their illnesses.

The newly selected 5th university student education volunteer group consists of a total of 220 members, significantly increasing the number of recruits in response to the demand from applicants wishing to participate in 'Chamjima-yo.' Especially due to the advantage of online education possible even during the COVID-19 situation, it has received high interest from slow learners and related organizations, resulting in approximately double the number of recruits and participating institutions compared to the 4th group.

The 5th volunteer group will conduct one-on-one easy reading education once a week online as mentors for slow learners from March to July. Additionally, they will enhance the program's completeness through regular meetings for exchanging feedback among mentors and self-planned projects.

Jeon Seung-ho, CEO of Daewoong Pharmaceutical, said, "Thanks to the mentoring of the university student volunteer group, slow learners will overcome their fear of hospital visits and pharmacies and receive necessary help in urgent and critical situations." He added, "I ask all participants to take pride and engage passionately, and Daewoong Pharmaceutical promises to continuously provide support."

Since 2019, Daewoong Pharmaceutical has been operating 'Chamjima-yo' together with Peach Market. Furthermore, it has produced easy reading books and 'AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication cards)' to help slow learners communicate with doctors and pharmacists, donating them to special schools nationwide, hospitals, clinics, and welfare centers.
