Salesio High School, Fundraising Campaign to Support Ukrainian Refugees

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Salesio High School in Gwangju united the hearts of faculty, parents, and students to practice a special act of sharing through fundraising activities for Ukrainian refugees suffering from the war.

On the 26th, Salesio High School announced that the event was jointly hosted by the school's Spiritual Welfare Department, Student Council, and volunteer club ‘CUM’, carrying out the ‘Pray for Ukraine’ campaign to help Ukrainian refugees.

They also encouraged participation in donations during lunchtime to support Ukrainians in despair.

During the campaign, posters urging prayers for peace in Ukraine and donation encouragement posters were posted throughout the school building. Student council members made and distributed promotional signs themselves, and the broadcasting club SBS produced videos to raise awareness of the horrors of war. In particular, first-year students performed an anti-war flash mob, demonstrating their humanity.

Meanwhile, the proceeds from this ‘Ukrainian Refugee Fundraising Activity’ totaled 3,134,151 KRW, combining cash and account donations. Students who donated 5,000 KRW or more were specially given commemorative badges. The collected funds will be delivered through the Salesio Society Korea Province Mission Office and will be used entirely for Ukrainian refugees.

Kim Na-hoon, Vice President of the Student Council, said, “Through this campaign, we were able to show the united hearts of Salesio High School students who oppose the war and support the Ukrainian people,” and passionately shouted, “To the people of Ukraine, although the situation is difficult now, we will cheer for you to regain peace.”
