Daewoong Pharmaceutical Successfully Completes 'Chamjimayo' University Volunteer Group Supporting Slow Learners

'Chamjimaeyo' 5th Generation University Student Volunteer Education Group Completion Ceremony.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Daewoong Pharmaceutical announced on the 4th that it held the 5th graduation ceremony of the 'Chamjimayo' university student volunteer group online.

Chamjimayo is Daewoong Pharmaceutical's representative social contribution program that helps slow learners, such as children with developmental disabilities and borderline intelligence, accurately express the symptoms of the diseases they experience.

The 5th volunteer group, consisting of 194 university student mentors, conducted one-on-one easy reading education once a week online from February to June for 178 slow learner mentees at 36 welfare centers and group homes nationwide. The mentoring time invested over the past five months exceeded 800 hours.

In addition to reading education, they voluntarily planned and promoted six new projects for slow learners, demonstrating sincere activities. Successful projects included the commemorative book “My Chamjimayo Story,” where Chamjimayo mentors and mentees share their feelings; the booklet “Making My Own Symptom Expression Dictionary” to help express symptoms; the “Emotion Deduction Fairy Tale and Disease Expression Package” for cognitive-behavioral education for people with developmental disabilities; the first aid kit “Kind Kit-ssi” for slow learners; the symptom expression board game “Health Keeper: Travel” for slow learners; and the kiosk guidebook “Learning How to Use Kiosks” for slow learners.

Jeon Seung-ho, CEO of Daewoong Pharmaceutical, said, “The passionate educational volunteer activities of the university student volunteer group have served as a beacon for slow learners to lead healthy lives in the future,” adding, “Daewoong Pharmaceutical will continue to strive to protect the health of the public through Chamjimayo volunteer activities.”

Since 2019, Daewoong Pharmaceutical has been operating Chamjimayo together with Peach Market, producing easy reading books and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication cards) to help slow learners communicate with doctors and pharmacists, which have been donated to special schools, hospitals, clinics, and welfare centers nationwide.
